Silicon Carbide Microresonators with High Optical Q and Large Kerr Nonlinearity for Nonlinear Optics

Abstract

We demonstrate an amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC) microresonator with optical Q up to 1.3 × 105. This enables us to characterize the third-order nonlinearity of a-SiC with n 2 = (5.9 ± 0.7) × 10−15 cm2/W.
