Abstract
SummaryWe explore by design laser-wavelength conversion with integrated microresonators. Nanophotonic control of four-wave mixing in microresonators enables a new approach for laser-wavelength access, converting mature laser platforms, e.g., 1550 nm, to nearly any other wavelength band. We characterize several aspects of microresonator wavelength converters, including their tunability over >100 THz, spectral translation conversion efficiency up to 50%, and systems of microresonators that enable optical-frequency synthesis.
