Abstract

In this work, we report a highly efficient and tunable on-chip sum-frequency generation (SFG) on a thin-film lithium niobate platform via modal phase matching (e + e→e). It provides on-chip SFG a solution with both high efficiency and poling-free by using the highest nonlinear coefficient d₃₃ instead of d₃₁. The on-chip conversion efficiency of SFG is approximately 2143%W⁻¹ with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 4.4 nm in a 3-mm-long waveguide. It can find applications in chip-scale quantum optical information processing and thin-film lithium niobate based optical nonreciprocity devices.
