摘要

Thin-film lithium niobate (LN) has recently emerged as a playground for chip-scale nonlinear optics and leads to efficient frequency conversions from near-infrared to near-visible bands. For many nonlinear and quantum photonics applications, it is desirable to operate deep into the visible band within LN's transparency window. However, the strong material dispersion at short wavelengths makes phase-matching difficult, necessitating sub-micrometer scale control of domain structures for efficient phase-matching. Here, we report the operation of thin film LN in the blue wavelength and high fidelity poling of the thin-film LN waveguide to this regime. As a result, quasi-phase matching is realized between IR (871 nm) and blue (435.5 nm) wavelengths in a straight waveguide and prompts strong blue light generation with a conversion efficiency (1040% ± 140%/W). This blue second harmonic generator exhibits stable temperature tunability, which is important for applications that require precise frequency alignment, such as atomic clocks.
