Dual-polarization pump rejection filter in silicon nitride technology

Résumé

On-chip pump rejection filters are key building blocks in a variety of applications exploiting nonlinear phenomena, including Raman spectroscopy and photon-pair generation. Ultrahigh rejection has been achieved in the silicon technology by non-coherent cascading of modal-engineered Bragg filters. However, this concept cannot be directly applied to silicon nitride waveguides as the comparatively lower index contrast hampers the suppression of residual light propagating in the orthogonal polarization, limiting the achievable rejection. Here, we propose and demonstrate a novel, to the best of our knowledge, strategy to overcome this limitation based on non-coherent cascading of the modal- and polarization-engineered Bragg filters. Based on this concept, we experimentally demonstrate a rejection exceeding 60 dB for both polarizations, with a bandwidth of 4.4 nm. This is the largest rejection reported for silicon nitride Bragg gratings supporting both polarizations.
