2 × 2 Compact Silicon Waveguide-Based Optical Logic Functions at 1.55 μm

Chalcogenide-based optical parametric oscillator at 2  μm.

We report the first chalcogenide-based optical parametric oscillator (OPO) relying on pure parametric gain. The all-fiber OPO operates in the wavelength range of 2 μm and is tunable over 290 nm from the combined Stokes and anti-Stokes contributions. The gain medium is a 10 cm long chalcogenide microwire made from a high modal confinement As2Se3 core with cyclo olefin polym...

Compact, Tunable Optical Devices in Silicon-Oxynitride Waveguide Technology

We present an optical waveguide technology for low-loss, compact and tunable planar integrated optical devices. Examples of devices realized in this technology include finite and infinite impulse response (FIR and IIR) filters and optical switches. © 1999 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices, (130.3130) Integrated optics materials

CMOS-compatible 2-bit optical spectral quantization scheme using a silicon-nanocrystal-based horizontal slot waveguide

All-optical analog-to-digital converters based on the third-order nonlinear effects in silicon waveguide are a promising candidate to overcome the limitation of electronic devices and are suitable for photonic integration. In this paper, a 2-bit optical spectral quantization scheme for on-chip all-optical analog-to-digital conversion is proposed. The proposed scheme is realized by filtering the...

Semiconductor optical amplifiers at 2.0-μm wavelength on silicon

P A P ER Abstract A semiconductor optical amplifier at 2.0-μm wavelength is reported. This device is heterogeneously integrated by directly bonding an InP-based active region to a silicon substrate. It is therefore compatible with low-cost and highvolume fabrication infrastructures, and can be efficiently coupled to other active and passive devices in a photonic integrated circuit. On-chip gain...
