Abstract

En 中文
We present a theoretical investigation of efficient second harmonic generation in the cubic lattice-matched N-doped Si/GsP multiple quantum well system integrated in a strip waveguide in the silicon-on-insulator platform. A giant second-order nonlinear optical susceptibility is obtained in an asymmetric coupled quantum well (ACQW) stack by engineering the 1-2 and 1-3 inter-subband spacings for resonance at both a similar to 4 mu m pump wavelength and a similar to 2 mu m harmonic wavelength. Generation has been simulated as a function of the quantum well physical parameters, the infrared absorption losses, and the detuning from the double resonance condition. For TM pumps at 3.75 mu m and 4.24 mu m, a chi((2))(zzz) value ranging from 7.73 x 103 pm/V to 1.13 x 104 pm/V has been calculated and a maximum conversion efficiency ranging between 1.23%/W and 1.68%/W has been obtained, where the waveguide coherence length was 5.57 mu m and 6.16 mu m.
