Abstract

We report on strong UV third-harmonic generation from silicon nitride films and resonant waveguide gratings. We determine the absolute value of third-order susceptibility of silicon nitride at wavelength of 1064 nm to be χ(3) (-3ω,ω,ω,ω) = (2.8 ± 0.6) × 10−20 m2/V2, which is two orders of magnitude larger than that of fused silica. The third-harmonic generation is further enhanced by a factor of 2000 by fabricating a resonant waveguide grating onto a silicon nitride film. Our results extend the operating range of CMOS-compatible nonlinear materials to the UV spectral regime.

Experimentally measured polarization-dependent THG Maker-fringe patterns, pin-pout (black circle) and sin-sout (blue square), from the reference fused silica and SiN samples under the same condition. The solid lines (black and blue) indicate theoretical fits. There is no detectable signal for the polarization configuration pin-sout and sin-pout.
