1 micros tunable delay using parametric mixing and optical phase conjugation in Si waveguides.

چکیده
We demonstrate continuously tunable optical delays as large as 1.1 micros range for 10 Gb/s NRZ optical signals based on four-wave mixing (FWM) process in silicon waveguide. The large delay range is made possible by a novel wavelength-optimized optical phase conjugation scheme, which allows for tunable dispersion compensation to minimize the residual group-velocity dispersion (GVD) for the entire tuning range.

Ultralong continuously tunable parametric delays via a cascading discrete stage.
We report experimental demonstration of an all-optical continuously tunable delay line based on parametric mixing with a total delay range of 7.34 mus. The bit-error rate performance of the delay line was characterized for a 10-Gb/s NRZ data channel. This result is enabled by cascading a discrete delay line that consists of 16 wavelength-dependent delays and a continuously tunable delay stage. ...
متن کاملNarrow-band optical filter through phase conjugation by nondegenerate four-wave mixing in sodium vapor.
An ultrahigh-Q, tunable optical filter with a FWHM bandwidth of 41 MHz is demonstrated. The filtering is produced by nondegenerate phase conjugation through four-wave mixing in atomic-sodium vapor. The filter is observed to have a maximum quantum efficiency of 4 x 10(-3). However, degenerate phase-conjugation experiments in sodium suggest that a quantum efficiency of greater than unity can be a...
متن کاملLarge tuning of birefringence in two strip silicon waveguides via optomechanical motion.
We present an optomechanical method to tune phase and group birefringence in parallel silicon strip waveguides. We first calculate the deformation of suspended, parallel strip waveguides due to optical forces. We optimize the frequency and polarization of the pump light to obtain a 9 nm deformation for an optical power of 20 mW. Widely tunable phase and group birefringence can be achieved by va...
متن کاملSpectral phase conjugation via extended phase matching
It is shown that the copropagating three-wave-mixing parametric process, with appropriate type-II extended phase matching and pumped with a short second-harmonic pulse, can perform spectral phase conjugation and parametric amplification, which shows a threshold behavior analogous to backward-wave oscillation. The process is also analyzed in the Heisenberg picture, which predicts a spontaneous p...
