Abstract
Novel integrated photonics platforms are having a large impact on nonlinear optics. The inherent strong confinement and highly nonlinear materials allow for ultra-efficient frequency conversion. Recent reports on second harmonic (SH) generation for example posted record conversion efficiencies in millimetre long waveguides [1,2]. These promising results predict an exciting future for frequency conversion in subwavelengths structures. Yet, the vectorial nature of waves propagating in high index contrast nanowaveguides is often overlooked. Here we demonstrate second harmonic generation enabled by the longitudinal component of both the pump and the second harmonic wave.
