Phase-matching Second-order Optical Nonlinear Interactions using Bragg Reflection Waveguides: A Platform for Integrated Parametric Devices

Bragg reflection waveguides (BRW) or one-dimensional photonic bandgap structures have been demonstrated for phase-matching chi(2) nonlinearities in AlxGa1-xAs. The method exploits strong modal dispersion of a Bragg mode and total internal reflection modes co-propagating inside the waveguide. It is s...
