We designed, fabricated and tested gallium phosphide (GaP) nano-waveguides for second harmonic generation (SHG). We demonstrate SHG in the visible range around 655 nm using low power continuous-wave pump in the optical communication O-band. Our structures utilize modal phase matching, such that lower order eigenmodes of the pump are phase matched to higher order eigenmodes of the second harmonic. We observe phase matched SHG for different combinations of interacting modes by varying the widths of the waveguides and tuning the wavelength of the pump. The presented results contribute to the development of integrated photonic platforms with efficient nonlinear wave-mixing processes for classical and quantum applications.

We demonstrate second harmonic generation in photonic crystal nanocavities fabricated in the semiconductor gallium phosphide. We observe second harmonic radiation at 750 nm with input powers of only nanowatts coupled to the cavity and conversion effi ciency $P_{rm out}/P_{rm in, coupled}^2 = 430%/{rm W}$. The large electronic band gap of GaP minimizes absorption loss, allowing efficient conversion. Our results are promising for integrated, low-power light sources and on-chip reduction of input power in other nonlinear processes.
Resonant metasurfaces are an attractive platform for enhancing the non-linear optical processes, such as second harmonic generation (SHG), since they can generate very large local electromagnetic fields while relaxing the phase-matching requirements. Here, we take this platform a step closer to the practical applications by demonstrating visible range, continuous wave (CW) SHG. We do so by combining the attractive material properties of gallium phosphide with engineered, high quality-factor photonic modes enabled by bound states in the continuum. For the optimum case, we obtain efficiencies around 5e-5 % W$^{-1}$ when the system is pumped at 1200 nm wavelength with CW intensities of 1 kW/cm$^2$. Moreover, we measure external efficiencies as high as 0.1 % W$^{-1}$ with pump intensities of only 10 MW/cm$^2$ for pulsed irradiation. This efficiency is higher than the values previously reported for dielectric metasurfaces, but achieved here with pump intensities that are two orders of magnitude lower.
We demonstrate enhanced second harmonic generation in a gallium phosphide photonic crystal waveguide with a measured external conversion efficiency of 5$times10^{-7}$/W. Our results are promising for frequency conversion of on-chip integrated emitter s having broad spectra or large inhomogeneous broadening, as well as for frequency conversion of ultrashort pulses.
We theoretically investigate second harmonic generation in extremely narrow, sub-wavelength semiconductor and dielectric waveguides. We discuss a novel guiding mechanism characterized by the inhibition of diffraction and the suppression of cut-off li mits in the context of a light trapping phenomenon that sets in under conditions of general phase and group velocity mismatch between the fundamental and the generated harmonic.

Photonic crystal nanocavities at visible wavelengths are fabricated in a high refractive index (n>3.2) gallium phosphide membrane. The cavities are probed via a cross-polarized reflectivity measurement and show resonances at wavelengths as low as 645 nm at room temperature, with quality factors between 500 and 1700 for modes with volumes 0.7(lambda/n)^3. These structures could be employed for submicron scale optoelectronic devices in the visible, and for coupling to novel emitters with resonances in the visible such as nitrogen vacancy centers, and bio- and organic molecules.
