Abstract

Evident from more than 50 years of table-top nonlinear optics, utilizing strong quadratic nonlinearities in integrated photonics can significantly expand the potentials of photonics for applications ranging from sensing to computing, especially in the ultra-short-pulse regime. In the past few years, nanophotonic lithium niobate (LN) has emerged as one of the most promising integrated photonic platforms with strong quadratic nonlinearity. In this talk we present some of our recent experimental results on realization and utilizing of dispersion-engineered and quasi-phase-matched devices in nanophotonic LN for intense optical parametric amplification, ultrafast ultra-low-energy all-optical switching, and few-cycle vacuum squeezing. We show a path for realization of large-scale ultrafast nanophotonic circuits in the classical and quantum regimes and discuss how networks of such resonators can lead to topological and non-Hermitian dynamics, and all-optical quantum information processors.
