Abstract
We demonstrate high quality (Q) factor microring resonators in high index-contrast GeSbSe chalcogenide glass waveguides using electron-beam lithography followed by plasma dry etching. A microring resonator with a radius of 90 μm shows an intrinsic Q factor of 4.1 × 105 in the telecom band. Thanks to the submicron waveguide dimension, the effective nonlinear coefficient was determined to be up to ∼110 W-1m-1 at 1550 nm, yielding a larger figure-of-merit compared with previously reported submicron chalcogenide waveguides. Such a high Q factor, combined with the large nonlinear coefficient and high confinement, shows the great potential of the GeSbSe microring resonator as a competitive platform in integrated nonlinear photonics.
