Abstract: An optical parametric oscillator (OPO) including a thin film waveguide including a material having a second order nonlinear susceptibility generating an electromagnetic field in response to pump electromagnetic field inputted into the thin film waveguide. The electromagnetic field has a first wavelength or first set of wavelengths longer than a second wavelength or second set of wavelengths of the pump electromagnetic field. The thin film waveguide has a thickness on the order of the first wavelength or the first set of wavelengths in the thin film waveguide so as to guide the electromagnetic field along the thin film waveguide.

Abstract: Lithium niobate (LiNbO3, LN) is a ferroelectric crystal of interest for integrated photonics owing to its large second-order optical nonlinearity and the ability to impart periodic poling via an external electric field. However, on-chip device performance based on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) is presently limited by propagation losses arising from surface roughness on the nano- and microscale. Atomic layer etching (ALE) can smooth these features and thereby increase photonic performance. In one embodiment disclosed herein, an isotropic ALE process for x-cut MgO-doped LN uses sequential exposures of H2 and SF6/Ar plasmas. We observed an etch rate of 1.59±0.02 nm/cycle with a synergy of 96.9%. ALE can be achieved with SF6/O2 or Cl2/BCl3 plasma exposures in place of the SF6/Ar plasma step with synergies of 99.5% and 91.5% respectively. The process decreased the sidewall surface roughness of TFLN waveguides etched by physical Ar+ milling by 30% without additional wet processing.

Abstract: A metamaterial shell architected on a core particle (comprising organic or inorganic material) so as to form a novel class of structurally hierarchical particle that has degrees of freedom in design parameters stemming from effective optical response of the metamaterial shell and from the electromagnetic modes in the core to elicit optical behaviours that are not easily achievable and designable in particles having simpler or smoother geometries.

Abstract: An on-chip pulse synthesizer including an integrated photonic chip that temporally and spectrally shapes pulses of light using primarily quadratic optical nonlinearities. Through this synthesis, the light pulses undergo temporal shortening or reshaping, spectral broadening, wavelength conversion, or a combination thereof. A key aspect of this synthesis is the mode engineering of the waveguides, which includes converting the pump source mode to the relevant mode in the nonlinear optical region and tailoring the waveguide geometry and material stack to enable dispersion-engineering as well as engineering of the phase matching for various nonlinear processes.

Abstract: A sensor including a resonator comprising a nonlinear material comprising a nonlinear susceptibility configured to convert a pump electromagnetic wave (EM) wave to a signal EM wave and an idler EM wave, wherein at least one of the pump EM wave, the signal EM wave and/or the idler EM wave is fed back through the nonlinear material to form one or more resonant EM waves. An actuator coupled to the resonator or a pump path to the resonator, controls at least one of a pump power of the pump EM wave, a detuning of the frequency modes of the resonator relative to one or more frequencies of the resonant EM waves, or a phase matching of the nonlinear material. An output of the resonator outputs one or more output EM waves comprising information about a sample coupled to the resonator.
