On the observation of dispersion in tunable second-order nonlinearities of silicon-rich nitride thin films

We present experimental results on second-harmonic generation in non-stoichiometric, silicon-rich nitride films. The as-deposited film presents a second-order nonlinear coefficient, or χ(2), as high as 8 pm/V. This value can be widely tuned using the electric field induced second harmonic effect, an...
