Abstract

Lithium niobate thin film frequency doubler has extensive applications in the preparation of classical and quantum sources. In this study, we successfully fabricated microdisk resonators with a quality factor of 2.2×105 in reverse-polarization dual-layer x-cut lithium niobate for the first time. Based on the modal phase matching condition, efficient second harmonic generation with a record normalized conversion efficiency of ∼56000% W−1 and cascaded third harmonic generation with an efficiency of ∼6500% W−2 were obtained in the microdisk resonator. Compared with the periodically poled lithium niobate microcavity, the complex domain structure preparation processes are avoided. Our work provides a scheme for achieving highly efficient second-order nonlinear effects in non-periodically poled microcavities.
