Abstract: | The realization of nonlinear photonic circuits to achieve the control of light-by-light is contingent upon a strong nonlinear response that can be captured in a guided-wave geometry. There remains a need to further scale down waveguides while maintaining a strong nonlinear response. In this study, we report second-harmonic generation and optical parametric generation using the second-order nonlinear response in an 80 nm thick CdS nanowire subwavelength waveguide. Moreover, our three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations demonstrate that it is possible to enhance the coherence length due to the very nature of the subwavelength geometry. Nonlinear mixing in a nanowire subwavelength waveguide represents an advance toward all-optical processing and all-optical switching in integrated photonic circuits. |
