| contents | Achieving compact and efficient visible laser sources is crucial for a wide range of applications. However traditional semiconductor laser technology faces difficulties in producing high-brightness green light, leaving a green gap in wavelength coverage. Second-harmonic generation (SHG) offers a promising alternative by converting near-infrared sources to visible wavelengths with high efficiency and spectral purity. Here, we demonstrate efficient and tunable SHG within the green spectrum using a high-Q Si3N4 microresonator. A space-charge grating induced by the photogalvanic effect realizes reconfigurable grating numbers and flexible wavelength tuning. Additionally, grating formation dynamics and competition is observed. These findings underscore the potential of silicon nitride as a robust, integrative platform for on-chip, tunable green light sources. |
