Four wave mixing in 3C SiC Ring Resonators

Abstract

We demonstrate frequency conversion by four wave mixing at telecommunication wavelengths using an integrated platform in 3C SiC. The process was enhanced by high-Q and small modal volume ring resonators, allowing the use of mW-level CW powers to pump the nonlinear optical process. We retrieved the nonlinear refractive index $n_2=(5.31\pm 0.04)\times 10^{-19}{m}^2/W$ of 3C SiC and observed a signal attributed to Raman gain in the structure.
