Abstract :
Second- and third-harmonic generation in silicon photonic crystal nanocavities using a low-power, continuous wave laser at telecommunication wavelengths is demonstrated. This is achieved by employing cavities that are optimized for high quality factor and efficient coupling to the incoming beam in the far field.
