Toward mid infrared nonlinear optics applications of silicon carbide microdisks

We report the fabrication and characterization of silicon carbide microdisks on top of silicon pillars suited for applications from near- to mid-infrared. We probe 10 μm diameter disks with different under-etching depths, from 4 μm down to 1.4 μm, fabricated by isotropic plasma etching and extract q
