An optical parametric oscillator in the telecom wavelength range is realized in a diamond system consisting of a ring resonator coupled to a diamond waveguide. Threshold powers as low as 20 mW are measured and up to 20 new wavelengths are generated from a single-frequency pump laser. Despite progress towards integrated diamond photonics1,2,3,4, studies of optical nonlinearities in diamond have been limited to Raman scattering in bulk samples5. Diamond nonlinear photonics, however, could enable efficient, in situ frequency conversion of single photons emitted by diamond's colour centres6,7, as well as stable and high-power frequency microcombs8 operating at new wavelengths. Both of these applications depend crucially on efficient four-wave mixing processes enabled by diamond's third-order nonlinearity. Here, we have realized a diamond nonlinear photonics platform by demonstrating optical parametric oscillation via four-wave mixing using single-crystal ultrahigh-quality-factor (1 × 106) diamond ring resonators operating at telecom wavelengths. Threshold powers as low as 20 mW are measured, and up to 20 new wavelengths are generated from a single-frequency pump laser. We also report the first measurement of the nonlinear refractive index due to the third-order nonlinearity in diamond at telecom wavelengths.read more

Dissipative Kerr solitons in optical microresonators
TL;DR: In this article, the discovery and stable generation of temporal dissipative Kerr solitons in continuous-wave (CW) laser driven optical microresonators is described and analytical and numerical descriptions are presented that do not only reproduce qualitative features but can also be used to accurately model and predict the characteristics of experimental systems.

Battery-operated integrated frequency comb generator.
TL;DR: A chip-based integration of microresonators and lasers produces a battery-powered comb generator that does not require external lasers, moveable optics or laboratory set-ups and should enable production of highly portable and robust frequency and timing references, sensors and signal sources.

Optical microcavities
TL;DR: In quantum optical devices, microcavities can coax atoms or quantum dots to emit spontaneous photons in a desired direction or can provide an environment where dissipative mechanisms such as spontaneous emission are overcome so that quantum entanglement of radiation and matter is possible.

Optical frequency comb generation from a monolithic microresonator
Pascal Del'Haye,Albert Schliesser,Olivier Arcizet,Tobias Wilken,Ronald Holzwarth,Tobias J. Kippenberg +5 more
TL;DR: This work reports a substantially different approach to comb generation, in which equally spaced frequency markers are produced by the interaction between a continuous-wave pump laser of a known frequency with the modes of a monolithic ultra-high-Q microresonator via the Kerr nonlinearity.

Optical microcavities : Photonic technologies
TL;DR: Optical microcavities confine light to small volumes by resonant recirculation as discussed by the authors, and are indispensable for a wide range of applications and studies, such as long-distance transmission of data over optical fibres; they also ensure narrow spot-size laser read/write beams in CD and DVD players.
