Popis: Microresonators on a photonic chip could enhance nonlinear optics effects, thus are promising for realizing scalable high-efficiency frequency conversion devices. However, fulfilling phase matching conditions among multiple wavelengths remains a significant challenge. Here, we present a feasible scheme for degenerate sum-frequency conversion that only requires the two-mode phase matching condition. When the drive and the signal are both near resonance to the same telecom mode, an efficient on-chip photon-number conversion efficiency upto 42% was achieved, showing a broad tuning bandwidth over 250GHz. Furthermore, cascaded Pockels and Kerr nonlinear optical effects are observed, enabling the parametric amplification of the optical signal to a distinct wavelength in a single device. The scheme demonstrated in this work provides an alternative approach to realizing high-efficiency frequency conversion and is promising for future studies on communications, atom clocks, sensing, and imaging.
