摘要
In this letter, we demonstrate significant improvement in second-harmonic (SH) generation using matching layer enhanced Al(x)G(1-x)As Bragg reflection waveguide in type-I and type-II phase-matching schemes. For a 1.8-ps pulsed pump around 1550 nm with an average power of 3.3 mW, peak SH powers of 28 and 60 mu W were measured in type-I and type-II interactions, respectively. The associated normalized conversion efficiencies were estimated to be 5.30 x 10(3)% and 1.14 x 10(4)% W-1 . cm(-2) with SH process bandwidths of 1.7- and 1.8-nm full-width at half-maximum. Waveguides with various ridge widths ranging between 2.8 and 4.8 mu m with 2.17-mm length were characterized.
