Probing material absorption and optical nonlinearity of integrated photonic materials
2022
Overview
Optical microresonators with high quality (
Q
) factors are essential to a wide range of integrated photonic devices. Steady efforts have been directed towards increasing microresonator
Q
factors across a variety of platforms. With success in reducing microfabrication process-related optical loss as a limitation of
Q
, the ultimate attainable
Q
, as determined solely by the constituent microresonator material absorption, has come into focus. Here, we report measurements of the material-limited
Q
factors in several photonic material platforms. High-
Q
microresonators are fabricated from thin films of SiO

. By using cavity-enhanced photothermal spectroscopy, the material-limited
Q
is determined. The method simultaneously measures the Kerr nonlinearity in each material and reveals how material nonlinearity and ultimate
Q
vary in a complementary fashion across photonic materials. Besides guiding microresonator design and material development in four material platforms, the results help establish performance limits in future photonic integrated systems.
Optical absorption and nonlinear index are important performance drivers in devices like microcombs. Here the authors use resonance-enhanced nonlinear spectroscopy to characterize absorption limits and nonlinear index for some integrated photonic materials.
