A birefringent phase-matching scheme for difference-frequency generation in a slotted air-clad waveguide with a tunable gap is proposed and theoretically analyzed. A tunability of 300 cm(-1) and an efficiency of 400 W(-1) cm(-2) is predicted.

Nanomechanical resonators realized from tensile-strained materials reach ultralow mechanical dissipation in the kHz to MHz frequency range. Tensile-strained crystalline materials that are compatible with epitaxial growth of heterostructures would thereby at the same time allow realizing monolithic free-space optomechanical devices, which benefit from stability, ultrasmall mode volumes, and scalability. In our work, we demonstrate nanomechanical string and trampoline resonators made from tensile-strained InGaP, which is a crystalline material that is epitaxially grown on an AlGaAs heterostructure.

Active suspended membranes are an ideal test-bench for experimenting with novel laser geometries and principles. We show that adding thin AlGaAs barrier near the top and bottom Air/GaAs interfaces of the membrane significantly reduces the carriers non-radiative recombinations and decreases the threshold of test photonic crystal test lasers. We review the existing literature on photonic crystal membrane fabrication and propose an overview of the significant defects that can be induced by each fabrication step.

This chip co-integrates an AlGaAs microdisk that is evanescently coupled to two distinct suspended waveguides designed for light injection and collection around 1600 nm and 800 nm, respectively. Quasi-phase matching provided by the resonator geometry and material symmetry, resonant field enhancement, and confinement ensure efficient nonlinear interactions.

Due to adjustable modal birefringence, suspended AlGaAs optical waveguides with submicron transverse sections can support phase-matched frequency mixing in the whole material transparency range, even close to the material bandgap, by tuning the width-to-height ratio. Furthermore, their single-pass conversion efficiency is potentially huge, thanks to the extreme confinement of the interacting modes in the highly nonlinear and high-refractive-index core, with scattering losses lower than in selectively oxidized or quasi-phase-matched AlGaAs waveguides. Here we compare the performances of two types of suspended waveguides made of this material, designed for second-harmonic generation (SHG) in the telecom range: (a) a nanowire suspended in air by lateral tethers and (b) an ultrathin nanorib, made of a strip lying on a suspended membrane of the same material.

We demonstrate the growth of low density anti-phase boundaries, crack-free GaAs epilayers, by Molecular Beam Epitaxy on silicon (001) substrates. The method relies on the deposition of thick GaAs on a suspended Ge buffer realized on top of deeply patterned Si substrates by means of a three-temperature procedure for the growth. This approach allows to suppress, at the same time, both threading dislocations and thermal strain in the epilayer and to remove anti-phase boundaries even in absence of substrate tilt.
