Monolithic Integration of Active and Second-order Nonlinear Functionality in Bragg Reflection Waveguides

This thesis explored the theory, design, fabrication and characterization of AlGaAs Bragg reflection waveguides (BRW) towards the goal of a platform for monolithic integration of active and optically nonlinear devices. Through integration of a diode laser and nonlinear phase-matched cavity, the poss...
