چکیده
The concept and design of L5 photonic band gap nanocavities in two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PhCs) slabs for enhancement of timulated Raman amplification and lasing in monolithic silicon is suggested for the first time. Specific high quality factor (Q) and small modal olume nanocavities are designed which supports the required pump–Stokes modal spacing in silicon, with ultra-low lasing thresholds. 2006 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملCoupled-mode theory for stimulated Raman scattering in high-Q/V(m) silicon photonic band gap defect cavity lasers.
We demonstrate the dynamics of stimulated Raman scattering in designed high-Q/V(m) silicon photonic band gap nanocavities through the coupled-mode theory framework towards optically-pumped silicon lasing. The interplay of other chi((3)) effects such as two-photon absorption and optical Kerr, related free-carrier dynamics, thermal effects, as well as linear losses such as cavity radiation and li...
متن کاملRaman amplification and lasing in SiGe waveguides.
We describe the first observation of spontaneous Raman emission, stimulated amplification, and lasing in a SiGe waveguide. A pulsed optical gain of 16dB and a lasing threshold of 25 W peak pulse power (20 mW average) is observed for a Si1-xGex waveguide with x=7.5%. At the same time, a 40 GHz frequency downshift is observed in the Raman spectrum compared to that of a silicon waveguide. The spec...

In this research, we have studied the photonic band structure, optical properties and thermal emission spectrum of 2D Silicon photonic crystal with hexagonal structure. The band structure, band gap map and the gap size versus radius have been calculated by plane wave expansion method. The maximum band gap size of TE (TM) polarization and the complete gap size are 51% (20%) and 17% at air hole r...
متن کاملLasing action in strongly coupled plasmonic nanocavity arrays.
Periodic dielectric structures are typically integrated with a planar waveguide to create photonic band-edge modes for feedback in one-dimensional distributed feedback lasers and two-dimensional photonic-crystal lasers. Although photonic band-edge lasers are widely used in optics and biological applications, drawbacks include low modulation speeds and diffraction-limited mode confinement. In co...
