Maximization of Gain in Slow-Light Silicon Raman Amplifiers
We theoretically study the problem of Raman gain maximization in uniform silicon photonic-crystal waveguides supporting slow optical modes. For the first time, an exact solution to this problem is obtained within the framework of the undepleted-pump approximation. Specifically, we derive analytical expressions for themaximum signal gain, optimal input pump power, and optimal length of a silicon...
متن کاملMaximization of net optical gain in silicon-waveguide Raman amplifiers.
We present a novel method for maximizing signal gain in continuously pumped silicon-waveguide Raman amplifiers made with silicon-on-insulator technology. Our method allows for pump-power depletion during Raman amplification and makes use of a variational technique. Its use leads to a system of four coupled nonlinear differential equations, whose numerical solution provides the optimal axial pro...
متن کاملEnergy Scavenging in Silicon Raman Amplifiers
Continuous-wave Raman amplification in silicon waveguides with negative electrical power dissipation is reported. It is shown that a p-n junction can simultaneously achieve carrier sweep-out leading to net continuous-wave gain, and electrical power generation. The approach is also applicable to silicon Raman lasers and other third-order nonlinear optical devices. 1 Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) ha...

Silicon Photonics is emerging as an attractive technology in order to realize low cost, high density integrated optical circuits. Realizing active functionalities in Silicon waveguiding structures is being pursued rigorously. In particular, the Stimulated Raman scattering process has attracted considerably attention for achieving on-chip light generation, amplification and wavelength conversion...
متن کاملMulti-Mode Mid-IR Silicon Raman Amplifiers
This paper discusses the prospects of silicon as a Mid-wave Infra-red Raman crystal. As a specific example of novel devices that can be realized, we introduce the concept of multi-mode silicon Raman amplifiers and their application in infrared image pre-amplification. The same technology also has application in incoherent beam combining.
