Experimental study demonstrates 35-fold efficiency enhancement in thin-film lithium niobate resonators, indicating a robust architecture for broadband optical frequency doubling.
Second harmonic generation in thin film periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) is constrained by an efficiency-bandwidth trade-off and fabrication-sensitive scaling. We demonstrate a racetrack resonator incorporating a short PPLN section and a tunable Mach-Zehnder interferometer coupler that enables in situ control of the coupling condition, compensating fabrication tolerances and stabilizing operation near critical coupling. The telecom pump is resonantly enhanced, while the near-infrared second harmonic is generated in single pass, eliminating dual-resonance requirements. The device achieves a 35 times efficiency enhancement over a non-resonant structure while maintaining a 7 nm bandwidth. This architecture provides a robust platform for broadband integrated frequency doubling.
