Optimization of Si-photonics compatible AlN waveguides for integrated nonlinear optics applications

Siddiqui, Aleem M.; Dominguez, Daniel D.; Michael, Christopher M.; Sims, Ryan; Stanfield, Paul S.; Hackett, Lisa A.; Leenheer, Andrew J.; Eichenfield, Matthew S.

We explore fabrication-process dependencies on optical losses of AlN films and demonstrate Second Harmonic Generation through modal phase-matching in integrated AlN waveguides. A loss-dependent conversion efficiency model is developed to better design waveguides in lossy AlN media.
