Stimulated Brillouin scattering in nanoscale silicon step-index waveguides: a general framework of selection rules and calculating SBS gain.
We develop a general framework of evaluating the Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) gain coefficient in optical waveguides via the overlap integral between optical and elastic eigen-modes. This full-vectorial formulation of SBS coupling rigorously accounts for the effects of both radiation pressure and electrostriction within micro- and nano-scale waveguides. We show that both contributions ...
متن کاملTailorable stimulated Brillouin scattering in nanoscale silicon waveguides
Nanoscale modal confinement is known to radically enhance the effect of intrinsic Kerr and Raman nonlinearities within nanophotonic silicon waveguides. By contrast, stimulated Brillouin-scattering nonlinearities, which involve coherent coupling between guided photon and phonon modes, are stifled in conventional nanophotonics, preventing the realization of a host of Brillouin-based signal-proces...
متن کاملAnalysis of enhanced stimulated Brillouin scattering in silicon slot waveguides.
Stimulated Brillouin scattering has attracted renewed interest with the promise of highly tailorable integration into the silicon photonics platform. However, significant Brillouin amplification in silicon waveguides has yet to be shown. In an effort to engineer a structure with large photon-phonon coupling, we analyzed both forward and backward Brillouin scattering in high-index-contrast silic...
متن کاملFormal selection rules for Brillouin scattering in integrated waveguides and structured fibers.
We derive formal selection rules for Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) in structured waveguides. Using a group-theoretical approach, we show how the waveguide symmetry determines which optical and acoustic modes interact for both forward and backward SBS. We present a general framework for determining this interaction and give important examples for SBS in waveguides with rectangular, trian...
متن کاملForward stimulated Brillouin scattering in silicon microring resonators
Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) has been demonstrated in silicon waveguides in recent years. However, due to the weak interaction between photons and acoustic phonons in these waveguides, long interaction length is typically necessary. Here, we experimentally show that forward stimulated Brillouin scattering in a short interaction length of a 20 μm radius silicon microring resonator could...
