Thin-film (LiNbO<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$_{3}$</tex-math></inline-formula>) and chalcogenide (ChG) glass (Ge<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$_{23}$</tex-math></inline-formula>Sb<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$_{7}$</tex-math></inline-formula>S<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$_{70}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) waveguides are integrated on silicon (Si) substrates. An optical mode transition between the two waveguides is achieved through low-loss mode-converting tapers, with a measured loss of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\sim$</tex-math></inline-formula>1.5 dB for transverse-electric and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\sim$</tex-math></inline-formula>1.75 dB for transverse-magnetic input polarizations. For nonlinear characterization, wavelength conversion via four-wave mixing is demonstrated on the ChG-LN waveguides. This platform provides an efficient method for the utilization of second- and third-order optical nonlinearities on the same chip, rendering it ideal for nonlinear applications such as stabilized octave-spanning optical frequency comb generation. |
