چکیده
We report highly nonlinear GaInP photonic crystal waveguides. An extremely large hybrid nonlinearity was demonstrated in a static experiment as well as in a wavelength conversion scheme at 10 Gbit/s. Highly efficient four wave mixing was also demonstrated for either CW or pulsed pump signals. Photonic crystyals; Nonlinear optics; Nonlinear wave mixing

Investigation of FWM in dispersion-engineered GaInP photonic crystal waveguides
We report on the investigation of four-wave mixing (FWM) in a long (1.3 mm) dispersion-engineered Gallium Indium Phosphide (GaInP) photonic crystal (PhC) waveguide. A comparison with a non-engineered design is made with respect to measured FWM efficiency maps. A striking different response is observed, in terms of dependence on the pump wavelength and the spectral detuning. The benefits and the...
متن کاملTemporal solitons and pulse compression in photonic crystal waveguides
Solitons are nonlinear waves that exhibit invariant or recurrent behaviour as they propagate. Precise control of dispersion and nonlinear effects governs soliton propagation and, through the formation of higher-order solitons, permits pulse compression. In recent years the development of photonic crystals—highly dispersive periodic dielectric media—has attracted a great deal of attention due to...
متن کاملWavelength Conversion Using Kerr Nonlinearity in a GaInP Photonic Crystal Fabry-Perot Resonator
We report GaInP photonic crystal Fabry-Perot resonators containing integrated reflectors. Efficient wavelength conversion of 30 ps pulses was demonstrated where the Kerr effect dominates and the device speed is limited by the resonator
متن کاملImprovement of Optical Properties in Hexagonal Index-guiding Photonic Crystal Fiber for Optical Communications
Waveguides with low confinement loss, low chromatic dispersion, and low nonlinear effects are used in optical communication systems. Optical fibers can also be employed in such systems. Besides optical fibers, photonic crystal fibers are also highly suitable transmission media for optical communication systems. In this paper, we introduce two new designs of index-guiding photonic crystal fiber ...
متن کاملObservations of four-wave mixing in slow-light silicon photonic crystal waveguides
Four-wave mixing is observed in a silicon W1 photonic crystal waveguide. The dispersion dependence of the idler conversion efficiency is measured and shown to be enhanced at wavelengths exhibiting slow group velocities. A 12-dB increase in the conversion efficiency is observed. Concurrently, a decrease in the conversion bandwidth is observed due to the increase in group velocity dispersion in t...
