Abstract

We demonstrate up to 30 nm tuning of gallium phosphide photonic crystal cavities resonances at ~1.5 μm using a tapered optical fiber. The tuning is achieved through a combination of near-field perturbations and mechanical deformation of the membrane, both induced by the fiber probe. By exploiting this effect, we show fiber-coupled second harmonic generation with a tuning range of nearly 10 nm at the second harmonic wavelength of ~750 nm. By scaling cavity parameters, the signal could easily be shifted into other parts of the visible spectrum.
