چکیده
We perform resonant spectroscopy of erbium implanted into nanophotonic silicon waveguides, finding 1 GHz inhomogeneous broadening and homogeneous linewidths below 0.1 GHz. Our study thus introduces a promising materials platform for on-chip quantum information processing.

Localization in silicon nanophotonic slow-light waveguides
Slowing down light on a chip can lead to the development of optical buffers1, filters2,3 and memory elements4 useful for optical interconnects and for resonantly enhanced chip-based nonlinear optics. Several approaches to slow light rely on the phenomenon of light interference in a sequence of coupled resonators; however, light interference is also responsible, in disordered structures, for the...
متن کاملSubwavelength nanophotonic structures in silicon waveguides
We review and discuss our recent studies of subwavelength grating (SWG) structures for engineering the refractive index of silicon microphotonic waveguides. Various applications are presented, such as fiber-chip coupling structures, waveguide crossings and athermal waveguides made with a polymer-silicon hybrid core. Keywords-Silicon photonics; subwavelength gratings; fiberchip coupler; waveguid...
متن کاملGiant birefringence in multi-slotted silicon nanophotonic waveguides.
We demonstrate record giant birefringence, nearly twice as large as has previously been achieved (Delta n(group) = 1.5 over more than 60 nm of bandwidth near lambda= 1550 nm) using a multi-slotted silicon nanophotonic waveguide. The birefringence is optimized by the use of materials with high refractive index contrast to create a compact single-mode waveguide, and the etching of deeply sub-wave...
متن کاملDispersion properties of silicon nanophotonic waveguides investigated with Fourier optics.
We experimentally investigate the dispersion relation of silicon-on-insulator waveguides in the 1.5 microm wavelength range by using a technique based on far-field Fourier-space imaging. The phase information of the propagating modes is transferred into the far field either by linear probe gratings positioned 1 microm away from the waveguide core or by residual gratings located on the sidewalls...
متن کاملSlow Photon Generation on Silicon NanoPhotonic Crystal Waveguides and Applications
Photonic crystal line defect waveguides show high group velocity dispersion and slow photon effect near transmission band edge. The group index of the fabricated silicon photonic crystal line defect waveguide is experimentally demonstrated as high as 45 at optical wavelength around 1558 nm. The group velocity dispersion of the fabricated silicon photonic crystal line defect waveguide is as high...
