Highly confined photon transport in subwavelength metallic slot waveguides.
We report experimental realization of subwavelength slot waveguides that exhibit both micrometer-range propagation and high spatial confinement of light. Attention is given to rectangular waveguides with a Si3N4 core and Ag cladding; core thicknesses of 50-100 nm and widths of 250 nm - 10 microm are explored. Propagation lengths of approximately 5lambda are achieved with light confined to later...
متن کاملImpact of two-photon absorption on self-phase modulation in silicon waveguides.
We study the effects of two-photon absorption on the self-phase modulation (SPM) process in silicon waveguides while including both free-carrier absorption and free-carrier dispersion. An analytical solution is provided in the case in which the density of generated carriers is relatively low; it is useful for estimating spectral bandwidth of pulses at low repetition rates. The free-carrier effe...
متن کاملPhase Separation in Highly Charged Confined Ionic Solutions
We study phase separation in ionic solutions confined by solid objects carrying surface charges. Within the framework of Density Functional Theory, the Helmholtz free energy of the ionic solution is minimized under canonical constraints on the ionic densities fixing their mean value while ensuring global electroneutrality. The free energy splits into a bulk and an electrostatic contribution. Th...
متن کاملTime-resolved study of Raman gain in highly confined silicon-on-insulator waveguides.
We show time-resolved measurement of Raman gain in Silicon submicron-size planar waveguide using picosecond pump and probe pulses. A net nonlinear gain of 6 dB is obtained in a 7-mm long waveguide with 20.7-W peak pump power. We demonstrate an ultrafast all-optical switch based on the free-carrier dispersion effect in the silicon waveguide, whose transmission is enhanced by more than 13 dB due ...
متن کاملGuiding, bending, and splitting of electromagnetic waves in highly confined photonic crystal waveguides
We have experimentally demonstrated the guiding, bending, and splitting of electromagnetic ~EM! waves in highly confined waveguides built around three-dimensional layer-by-layer photonic crystals by removing a single rod. Full transmission of the EM waves was observed for straight and bended waveguides. We also investigated the power splitter structures in which the input EM power could be effi...
