Abstract

We demonstrate Type II difference-frequency generation (DFG) around 1550nm in AlGaAs Bragg reflection waveguides using a pump around 778nm and a signal within the C-band range. Difference-frequency power of 0.95nW was obtained using a pump power of 62.9mW and a signal power of 2.9mW. Nonlinear conversion efficiency was estimated to be 2.5×102%/W1cm2 in a 1.5-mm-long sample. Using numerical simulations, the phase-matching bandwidth was predicted to be 100nm, while the measured DFG showed no sign of bandwidth limitation across a wavelength span of 40nm, which was limited by instrumentation.
