Integrated Nonlinear Optics in Silicon Nitride Waveguides
Integrated optics platforms offer the possibility to implement compact photonic devices for nonlinear optics applications. Modern nanofabrication facilities allow the fabrication of sub-micron-sized waveguide geometries that confine light to reach very high optical intensities. These intensities enable efficient nonlinear processes that are further enhanced by using materials with high nonlinea...
متن کاملOptical pulse compression based on nonlinear silicon waveguides and chirped Bragg gratings
Due to the growing demand for higher bandwidth, employing optical devices instead of electronic devices in data transmission systems has attracted much attention in recent years. Optical switches, modulators and wavelength converters are a few examples of the required optical devices. CMOS compatible fabrication of these devices, leads to much more growing of this technology. Optical pulse comp...
متن کاملUltrafast carrier dynamics in undoped microcrystalline silicon
We have studied ultrafast dynamics of photoexcited carriers in mc-Si:H by pump and probe laser spectroscopy. We have found that the dynamics of photoexcited carriers in mc-Si:H depend on the crystallinity of the material: in the samples with low crystalline fraction, the dynamics have a fast decay and resemble those in a-Si:H, while in the samples with high crystallinity the dynamics are slower...
متن کاملInfluence of nonlinear absorption on Raman amplification in Silicon waveguides.
We model the TPA-induced free carrier absorption effect in silicon Raman amplifiers and quantify the conditions under which net gain may be obtained. The achievable Raman gain strongly depends on the free carrier lifetime, propagation loss, and on the effective Raman gain coefficient, through pump-induced broadening.
متن کاملFDTD modeling of anisotropic nonlinear optical phenomena in silicon waveguides.
A deep insight into the inherent anisotropic optical properties of silicon is required to improve the performance of silicon-waveguide-based photonic devices. It may also lead to novel device concepts and substantially extend the capabilities of silicon photonics in the future. In this paper, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, we present a three-dimensional finite-difference time-...
