| contents | High-quality factor microresonators are an attractive platform for the study of nonlinear photonics, with diverse applications in communications, sensing, and quantum metrology. The characterization of loss mechanisms and nonlinear properties in a microresonator is a necessity for the development of photonic integrated circuits. Here, we demonstrate a high-quality chalcogenide ($Ge_{23}Sb_{7}S_{70}$) micro-racetrack resonator utilizing Euler curves. The racetrack geometry is studied to minimize loss at both the straight-curved waveguide junction and through the waveguide curve. The material absorption, intrinsic quality factor, and nonlinear index are extracted by a comprehensive model fit to laser wavelength resonance scans. The micro-racetrack resonator possesses an absorption loss of $0.43 dB/m$, an intrinsic quality factor of $4.5 \times 10^6$, and nonlinear index of $1.28 \times 10^{-18} m^2/W$, in a waveguide cross-section less than $1 μm^2$. Our results yield state-of-the-art nonlinear microresonators and establish $Ge_{23}Sb_{7}S_{70}$ as a low-loss PIC platform. |
