Stimulated Four-Wave Mixing in Linearly Uncoupled Resonators

Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate stimulated four-wave mixing in two linearly uncoupled integrated Si${}_3$N${}_4$ micro-resonators. In our structure the resonance combs of each resonator can be tuned independently, with the energy transfer from one resonator to the other occurring in the presence of a nonlinear interaction. This method allows flexible and efficient on-chip control of the nonlinear interaction, and is readily applicable to other third-order nonlinear phenomena.
