Abstract

Resonant second harmonic generation between 1550 nm and 775 nm with normalized outside efficiency > 3.8 × 10 - 4 mW - 1 is demonstrated in a gallium phosphide microdisk supporting high-Q modes at visible (Q ∼ 10 4) and infrared (Q ∼ 10 5) wavelengths. The double resonance condition is satisfied for a specific pump power through intracavity photothermal temperature tuning using ∼ 360 μ W of 1550 nm light input to a fiber taper and coupled to a microdisk resonance. Power dependent efficiency consistent with a simple model for thermal tuning of the double resonance condition is observed.
