Control of Second Harmonic Generation in Doubly Resonant Aluminum Nitride Microrings to Address Rubidium Two-Photon Clock Transition
Abstract
Nonlinear optical effects have been studied extensively in microresonators as more photonics applications transition to integrated on-chip platforms. Due to low optical losses and small mode volumes, microresonators are demonstrably the state-of-the-art platform for second harmonic generation (SHG). However, the working bandwidth of such microresonator-based devices are relatively small, presenting a challenge for applications where a specifically targeted wavelength needs to be addressed. In this work, we analyzed the phase-matching window and resonance wavelength with respect to varying microring width, radius and temperature. A chip with precise design parameters was fabricated with phase-matching realized at the exact wavelength of two-photon transition of 85-Rubidium. This procedure can be generalized to any target pump wavelength in the telecom-band with picometer precision.
