چکیده
We demonstrate ultrabroad-bandwidth low-power frequency conversion of continuous-wave light in a dispersion engineered silicon nanowaveguide via four-wave mixing. Our process produces continuously tunable four-wave mixing wavelength conversion over two-thirds of an octave from 1241-nm to 2078-nm wavelength light with a pump wavelength in the telecommunications C-band.

Broad-band continuous-wave parametric wavelength conversion in silicon nanowaveguides.
We demonstrate highly broad-band frequency conversion via four-wave mixing in silicon nanowaveguides. Through appropriate engineering of the waveguide dimensions, conversion bandwidths greater than 150 nm are achieved and peak conversion efficiencies of -9.6 dB are demonstrated. Furthermore, utilizing fourth-order dispersion, wave-length conversion across four telecommunication bands from 1477 ...
متن کاملOctave-spanning mid-infrared supercontinuum generation in silicon nanowaveguides.
We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of octave-spanning supercontinuum generation (SCG) on a silicon chip, spanning from the telecommunications c-band near 1.5 μm to the mid-infrared region beyond 3.6 μm. The SCG presented here is characterized by soliton fission and dispersive radiation across two zero group-velocity dispersion wavelengths. In addition, we numerical...
متن کاملBroad-Bandwidth Optical Frequency Conversion of Over 100 Terahertz in Silicon Waveguides
We demonstrate ultra-broad-bandwidth low-peak-power frequency conversion of continuouswave light in a silicon photonic structure via the nonlinear optical process of four-wave mixing. Our process produces continuous conversion over two-thirds of an octave from 1241-nm to 2078-nm wavelength light. This provides us with an extremely broad-bandwidth of over 100 THz, which is useful for application...
متن کاملNonlinear frequency conversion using high-quality modes in GaAs nanobeam cavities.
We demonstrate the design, fabrication, and characterization of nanobeam photonic crystal cavities in (111)-GaAs with multiple high-Q modes, with large frequency separations (up to 740 nm in experiment, i.e., a factor of 1.5 and up to an octave in theory). Such structures are crucial for efficient implementation of nonlinear frequency conversion. Here, we employ them to demonstrate sum-frequenc...
متن کاملOctave-spanning coherent supercontinuum generation in silicon on insulator from 1.06舁μm to beyond 2.4舁μm
Efficient complementary metal-oxide semiconductor-based nonlinear optical devices in the near-infrared are in strong demand. Due to two-photon absorption in silicon, however, much nonlinear research is shifting towards unconventional photonics platforms. In this work, we demonstrate the generation of an octave-spanning coherent supercontinuum in a silicon waveguide covering the spectral region ...
