Abstract :
Using microring resonator structures it should be possible to greatly enhance second order optical effects in AlGaAs, even in the presence of material and modal dispersion, without any artificially constructed variation in chi(2) in the resonator. We consider a number of second-order processes, and examine the limitations due to realistic scattering losses
