Abstract
The heterogeneous integration of AlGaAs-on-insulator (AlGaAs-OI) has proven to be a highly efficient material platform for nonlinear photonics. When AlGaAs is bonded to silica, there is a large difference in refractive index which results in waveguides with a strong modal confinement and enhanced nonlinearities. This, in combination with low linear and nonlinear losses, makes AlGaAs-OI an ideal platform for exploring nonlinear phenomena. In this talk we present recent progress on the design, fabrication and testing of AlGaAs-OI waveguides for efficient second harmonic generation, supercontinuum generation and the creation of photon pairs.
