Generation of phonons from electrostriction in small-core optical waveguides
We investigate the generation of acoustic phonons from electrostriction of optical waves in small core waveguides. We specifically consider simple step-index strip waveguides composed of silica or silicon in air, with sub-micron lateral dimensions. Such waveguides support one or a few optical modes, but a rich spectrum of acoustic phonons that becomes densely populated as the phonon frequency i...

متن کاملCoherent generation of acoustic phonons in an optical microcavity.
Ultrafast coherent generation of acoustic phonons is studied in a semiconductor optical microcavity. The confinement of the light pulse amplifies both the generation and the detection of phonons. In addition, the standing wave character of the photon field modifies the generation and detection phonon bandwidth. Coherent generation experiments in an acoustic nanocavity embedded in an optical mic...
متن کاملSecond Harmonic Generation from Organic Optical Waveguides on Diffraction Gratings
We present experimental results of second harmonic generation using a waveguide of PUSC deposited on a silver diffraction grating. The reflected second harmonic signal is enhanced at the angles of resonant excitation of the guided modes or of the surface plasmon. At these angles, we observe unexpected minima in the second harmonic signal, when the second harmonic frequency is situated within th...
متن کاملGuiding mechanisms in dielectric-core photonic-crystal optical waveguides
We show that the main guiding mechanisms in dielectric-core photonic crystal optical waveguides are total internal reflection and distributed Bragg reflection. We also show that by placing a slab of semiconductor material between two photonic band gap ~PBG! mirrors, we can obtain waveguide modes at frequencies out of the photonic bandgap. These modes are similar to the modes of a conventional d...
