In this work, efficient nonlinear frequency conversion in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) region was demonstrated by a barium titanate (BTO) on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate. The BTO thin film was epitaxially grown by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD). The tensorial second order optical nonlinearity and the ferroelectric domain property of the BTO were characterized by the polarimetric mid-IR second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements. Azimuthal-dependent polarized SHG was modeled at different combinations of the nonlinear coefficient $$d_{ij}$$ and the domain fraction factor $ΔD^Y/ΔD^X$. Strong SHG intensity was experimentally observed over a broad spectrum at λ = 3.1 μm - 3.7 μm. A characteristic linear dependence between the SHG signal and the square of the pumping laser intensity was observed. The monolithic integration between the epitaxial BTO and the Si provides a compact platform for efficient on-chip light generation and quantum photonic technologies.
