Silicon Nitride Background in Nanophotonic Waveguide Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
Recent studies have shown that evanescent Raman spectroscopy using a silicon nitride (SiN) nanophotonic waveguide platform has higher signal enhancement when compared to free-space systems. However, signal-to-noise ratio from the waveguide at a low analyte concentration is constrained by the shot-noise from the background light originating from the waveguide itself. Hence, understanding the ori...
متن کاملLow loss coupler to interface silicon waveguide and hybrid plasmonic waveguide
A metallic coupler is proposed to interface a silicon on insulator (SOI) waveguide with a narrow hybrid plasmonic waveguide (200× 200 nm). The device operation is investigated and optimized to attain the best tradeoff between the mode confinement and the propagation loss. Calculations reveal that a high confinement and low loss of the energy is achieved from a silicon slab waveguide into the di...
متن کاملOptimal DG Placement for Power Loss Reduction and Improvement Voltage Profile Using Smart Methods
Distributed Generations (DGs) are utilized to supply the active and reactive power in the transmission and distribution systems. These types of power sources have many benefits such as power quality enhancement, voltage deviation reduction, power loss reduction, load shedding reduction, reliability improvement, etc. In order to reach the above benefits, the optimal placement and sizing of DG is...
متن کاملTransmission of slow light through photonic crystal waveguide bends.
The spectral dependence of the bending loss of cascaded 60 degrees bends in photonic crystal (PhC) waveguides is explored in a slab-type silicon-on-insulator system. An ultralow bending loss of (0.05 +/- 0.03) dB/bend is measured at wavelengths corresponding to the nearly dispersionless transmission regime. In contrast, the PhC bend is found to become completely opaque for wavelengths correspon...
متن کاملNonlinear localized modes in waveguide bends
Being inspired by the recent studies of photonic crystal waveguides and circuits, we analyze nonlinear stationary modes localized in waveguide bends, in the framework of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation for a planar geometry. We introduce a simple model of a waveguide bend and examine the interplay between discreteness, nonlinearity and geometry for the existence and stability of non...
