A proposal for highly tunable optical parametric oscillation in silicon micro-resonators.

چکیده
We propose a novel scheme for continuous-wave pumped optical parametric oscillation (OPO) inside silicon micro-resonators. The proposed scheme not only requires a relative low lasing threshold, but also exhibits extremely broad tunability extending from the telecom band to mid infrared.

Highly tunable low-threshold optical parametric oscillation in radially poled whispering gallery resonators.
Whispering-gallery resonators (WGR's), based on total internal reflection, possess high quality factors in a broad spectral range. Thus, nonlinear-optical processes in such cavities are ideally suited for the generation of broadband or tunable electromagnetic radiation. Experimentally and theoretically, we investigate the tunability of optical parametric oscillation in a radially structured WGR...

A waveguide-coupled multiple-wavelength source can form the backbone of a fully operational on-chip optical network. Such networks can augment the computational capability of multi-core microprocessors [1]. Silicon photonics provides a viable platform for enormous bandwidths on a microelectronic chip by utilizing multiple wavelengths for a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) scheme. However,...
متن کاملA New Proposal for 4-to-2 Optical Encoder Using Nonlinear Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators
In this paper, we proposed an all optical 4-to-2 encoder that has 4 input and 3 output ports. This device generates a 2 bit binary code based on which input port is active. We used nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonators along with optical power splitter for realizing the proposed encoder. In this device the switching rate and area are obtained about 333 GHz and 612µm2 respectively.

متن کاملOn-chip switching of a silicon nitride micro-ring resonator based on digital microfluidics platform.
We demonstrate the switching of a silicon nitride micro ring resonator (MRR) by using digital microfluidics (DMF). Our platform allows driving micro-droplets on-chip, providing control over the effective refractive index at the vicinity of the resonator and thus facilitating the manipulation of the transmission spectrum of the MRR. The device is fabricated using a process that is compatible wit...
