AbstractThe exceptionally high optical nonlinearities, wide bandgap, and homogeneity in solution‐processed metal‐halide perovskite media are utilized as optical nonlinear elements on a silicon photonic platform for low‐power‐active components, such as all‐optical switches, modulators, and lasers. With room temperature back‐end‐of‐line compatible processing, a hybrid metal‐halide perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3) microring resonator (MRR) structure is fabricated on a foundry‐processed low‐loss silicon photonic platform. With in‐plane excitation near the light intensity of 110 W m−2, strong two‐photon absorption and free‐carrier absorption saturation are observed. With 103 field enhancements by MRRs, the photorefractive effect in the metal‐halide perovskite reduces linear absorption, represented by 102 improvement of the MRR's intrinsic quality factor and 20 dB enhancement of the extinction ratio.
