摘要
Parametric fluorescence at 2.1 mu m is observed in oxidized, form-birefringent AlGaAs waveguides. The signal level measured is approximately 15 pW, over the range of 1.9-2.5 mu m. The possibility of realizing an optical parametric oscillator is discussed, and reduction of the internal losses is shown to require optimization of the oxidation process.
