Enchanced and Quasi-Phase Matched Second-Harmonic Generation in a CMOS Compaitble Platform

Abstract

This research investigates the realization of second order wave mixers in strained silicon waveguides for optical second harmonic generation. This effort seeks the capability to create low-power, low-cost portable commercial devices utilizing frequency referenced optical comb sources for applications to spectroscopy, metereology, medical and biological science, environmental health and safety, and astronomy.
