Resonant second-harmonic boost enables low-power on-chip optical amplification

Researchers on a thin-film lithium niobate chip demonstrate an integrated optical parametric amplifier that achieves >17 dB gain at telecom wavelengths using a resonant second-harmonic pump, dramatically reducing required pump power from watts to tens of milliwatts. The SH resonance enhances broadband parametric gain (>150 nm) with measurable noise figures, enabling low-power, chip-scale amplification for communications and quantum sensing in photonic circuits.

"Breakthrough: Chip-based Optical Resonators Achieve Unprecedented UV Loss Reduction"

Researchers have developed chip-based photonic resonators with record low UV light loss, paving the way for advancements in UV photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design. The resonators, made from alumina thin films, operate in the ultraviolet and visible regions of the spectrum. The low light loss opens up possibilities for applications such as spectroscopic sensing, underwater communication, and quantum information processing. The researchers achieved this breakthrough by combining the right material with optimized design and fabrication techniques. They are now working on developing alumina-based ring resonators that can be tuned to work with different wavelengths and integrating them into a complete UV system.
