AbstractQuasi-phase-matching has long been a widely used approach in nonlinear photonics, enabling efficient parametric frequency conversions such as second-harmonic generation. However, in silicon photonics the task remains challenging, as materials best suited for photonic integration lack second-order susceptibility (χ(2)), and means for achieving momentum conservation are limited. Here we present optically reconfigurable quasi-phase-matching in large-radius silicon nitride microresonators, resulting in up to 12.5-mW on-chip second-harmonic generated power and a conversion efficiency of 47.6% W−1. Most importantly, we show that such all-optical poling can occur unconstrained from intermodal phase-matching, leading to broadly tunable second-harmonic generation. We confirm the phenomenon by two-photon imaging of the inscribed χ(2) grating structures within the microresonators as well as by in situ tracking of both the pump and second-harmonic mode resonances during all-optical poling. These results unambiguously establish that the photogalvanic effect, responsible for all-optical poling, can overcome phase mismatch constraints, even in resonant systems.
