Conventional microresonators (top) are limited in the wavelengths they can produce through OPO. By partially etching away the silicon dioxide film under the microresonator to create an “undercut” and using a thicker layer of silicon nitride (bottom), NIST researchers were able to cover the entire “green gap” spectral range while also improving the density of the generated wavelengths.
