For this purpose SiO2 material was used to form the toroidal cavity shape, and chalcogenide material of As2S3 maintaining very high nonlinear refractive index was thermally evaporated on top with varying thicknesses. Simulation results of the fabricated structure have exhibited new frequency components around the excitation window of 1520 nm produced by non-linear interactions.EnglishOptical designSilicon compoundsChalcogenide glassesCombined processingFrequency componentsInternational conferencesNon-linear effectsReflow techniqueSupercontinuum generationToroid microcavityTransparent optical networksUltra-highOptical materialsConference Paper10.1109/ICTON.2008.4598785
