The authors' main claim With its exceptional $\chi^{(2)}$ nonlinearity and low optical losses, the epitaxial InGaP platform significantly enhances a wide range of second-order nonlinear optical effects, from second-harmonic generation to entangled photon pair sources, achieving efficiencies several orders of magnitude beyond the current state of the art.

Nonlinear optical materials are essential for the development of both nonlinear and quantum optics and have advanced recently from bulk crystals to integrated material platforms. In this Perspective, we provide an overview of the emerging InGaP $\chi^{(2)}$ nonlinear integrated photonics platform and its experimental achievements. With its exceptional $\chi^{(2)}$ nonlinearity and low optical losses, the epitaxial InGaP platform significantly enhances a wide range of second-order nonlinear optical effects, from second-harmonic generation to entangled photon pair sources, achieving efficiencies several orders of magnitude beyond the current state of the art. Moreover, the InGaP platform enables quantum nonlinear optics at the few- and single-photon levels via passive nonlinearities, which has broad implications for quantum information processing and quantum networking. We also examine the current limitations of the InGaP platform and propose potential solutions to fully unlock its capabilities.
