superior performance with respect to speed and operation bandwidth than electronic based devices. [3-5] As a fundamental χ (3) process, FWM has found a wide range of applications in wavelength conversion, [6,7] optical frequency comb generation, [8,9] optical sampling, [10,11] quantum entanglement, [12,13] and many others. [14,15] Implementing nonlinear photonic devices in integrated form offers the greatest dividend in terms of compact footprint, high stability, high scalability, and mass-producibility. [1,2,16] Although silicon has been a leading platform for integrated photonic devices for many reasons, [1] including the fact that it leverages the well-developed complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication technologies, [17] its strong twophoton absorption (TPA) at near-infrared telecommunications wavelengths poses a fundamental limitation for devices operating in this wavelength region. Other CMOS compatible platforms such as silicon nitride (SiN) and doped silica [2,18] have a much lower TPA, although they still suffer from intrinsic limitation arising from a much lower Kerr nonlinearity. The increasing demand for high performing nonlinear integrated photonic devices has motivated the search for highly
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
