| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have improved the optical loss of SiC photonic crystals, which are expected to overcome the issues in Si photonic crystals such as suppression of two-photon absorption, operation at visible range, etc. We have found that thin film SiC of SiC on insulator substrate has linear absorption loss originates from the fabrication process, and proposed a fabrication method to avoid this issue. As a result, a low-loss SiC photonic crystal nanocavity with a Q factor of 300 thousand has been realized, which means that optical loss has been suppressed to be less than 1/30 of the value before this research. Enhancement of optical nonlinearity based on a high-Q SiC nanocavity has been also investigated, and high normalized second harmonic conversion efficiency of 1400%/W has been observed.
