Efficient Photonic Crystal Parametric Source harnessing high-Q resonances

Abstract

A new tuning mechanism is introduced in high-Q multimode photonic crystal resonators allowing to harness the resonant enhancement of the parametric resonance systematically. As a consequence, ultra-efficient stimulated and spontaneous Four Wave Mixing at continuous microWatt pumping levels are observed, and the scaling with Q is demonstrated. Experimental results are in perfect agreement with an analytical model without fitting parameters.
