SiC has emerged as a highly promising material for harnessing nonlinear processes, attributed to its inherent χ(2) and χ(3) nonlinearities. The recent introduction of SiC-on-insulator nanowaveguides with high-index contrast has enabled efficient dispersion engineering and strong light-matter nonlinear interaction. This advancement has consequently led to various nonlinear phenomena, including the generation of Kerr combs, supercontinuum, and second harmonic signals. Notably, none of the existing demonstrations have combined χ(2) and χ(3) nonlinear processes within a single device. In this study, we present a dispersion-engineered 4H-SiC-on-insulator nanowaveguide, which not only allows for the generation of octave-spanning supercontinuum through dispersive wave generation but also enables efficient frequency doubling of this dispersive wave. Our demonstration shows that the 4H-SiC-on-insulator is a versatile integrated platform for compact, multifunctional nonlinear devices.
