In this Letter, we report on the fabrication and characterization of a monolithic III-V semiconductor photonic chip, designed to perform nonlinear parametric optical processes for frequency conversion and non-classical state generation. 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. We demonstrate second-harmonic generation efficiency of 5 and a biphoton generation rate of 1.2 kHz/µW through spontaneous down-conversion.

The monolithic fabrication of passive, nonlinear, and active functionalities on a single chip is highly desired in the wake of the development and commercialization of integrated photonic platforms. However, the co-integration of diverse functionalities has been challenging as each platform is optimized for specific applications, typically requiring different structures and fabrication flows. In this article, we report on a monolithic and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor CMOS-compatible hybrid wafer-scale photonics platform that is suitable for linear, nonlinear, and active photonics based on moderate confinement 0.

Artificial nanostructures with ultrafine and deep-subwavelength features have emerged as a paradigm-shifting platform to advanced light-field management, becoming key building blocks for high-performance integrated optoelectronics and flat optics. However, direct optical inspection of integrated chips remains a missing metrology gap that hinders quick feedback between design and fabrications. Here, we demonstrate that photothermal nonlinear scattering microscopy can be used for direct imaging and resolving of integrated optoelectronic chips beyond the diffraction limit.
