Resonantly enhanced second harmonic generation in a one-dimensional GaN-based photonic crystal slab

We have performed investigations of resonance effects inside a gallium nitride one-dimensional photonic crystal slab in order to enhance the second-harmonic generated from an beam incident on the surface of the slab. Convenient conditions on the incident beam propagation direction and polarization are first identified by experimental or theoretical linear optical studies. Giant enhancements in the second-harmonic conversion have been obtained by comparison with the unpatterned GaN layer. The combined role of the resonant coupling of the fundamental field and of the second-harmonic field has been observed by rotating the polarization of the fundamental beam.
