Phase-sensitive amplification in silicon photonic crystal waveguides.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We experimentally demonstrate phase-sensitive amplification in a silicon photonic crystal waveguide based on pump-degenerate four-wave mixing. An 11 dB phase-extinction ratio is obtained in a record compact 196 μm nanophotonic device due to broadband slow light, in spite of the presence of two-photon absorption and free carriers. Numerical calculations show good agreement with the experimental results.

Observation of large parity-change-induced dispersion in triangular-lattice photonic crystal waveguides using phase sensitive techniques
We experimentally studied W1 triangular-lattice photonic crystal waveguides PCWs fabricated on semiconductor-on-insulator substrates using phase-sensitive lock-in techniques. In addition to the improved signal-to-noise ratio for power transmission measurements, we observed two large group delay peaks at frequencies corresponding to the photonic mode gap and parity changes of Bloch modes inside ...

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...
متن کاملAdd-Drop and Channel-Drop Optical Filters Based on Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators
Here, we propose an add-drop and a channel drop filter based on two-dimensional photonic crystal all circular ring resonators. These structures are made of a square lattice of silicon rods with the refractive index n1=3.464 surrounded by air (with refractive index n2=1). The broadest photonic band gap occurs at the filling ratio of r/a = 0.17. Two linear defect W1 waveguides couple to the ring....
