Low power four wave mixing in an integrated, micro-ring resonator with Q = 1.2 million.
We demonstrate efficient, low power, continuous-wave four-wave mixing in the C-band, using a high index doped silica glass micro ring resonator having a Q-factor of 1.2 million. A record high conversion efficiency for this kind of device is achieved over a bandwidth of 20 nm. We show theoretically that the characteristic low dispersion enables phase-matching over a tuning range > 160 nm.
