Anti-Stokes Raman conversion in silicon waveguides.

چکیده
The first observation of parametric down-conversion in silicon is reported. Conversion from 1542.3nm to 1328.8nm is achieved using a CW pump laser at 1427 nm. The conversion occurs via Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) in which two pump photons and one Stokes photon couple through a zone-center optical phonon to an anti-Stokes photon. The maximum measured Stokes/anti-Stokes power conversion efficiency is 1x10-5. The value depends on the effective pump power, the Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) coefficient of bulk silicon, and waveguide dispersion. It is shown that the power conversion efficiency is a strong function of phase mismatch inside the waveguide.

We demonstrated conversion of optical signals from 1550nm band to the 1300nm band in silicon waveguides. The conversion is based on parametric Stokes to anti-Stokes coupling using the Raman susceptibility of silicon.

Parametric Raman nonlinearities in Silicon waveguides is used to demonstrate wavelength conversion from Stokes to anti-Stokes channels. The effects of two photon absorption and free carrier nonlinear losses on the conversion process have also been analyzed. We find that scaling down the waveguide dimensions to submicron sizes is advantageous in terms of increasing the Raman nonlinearities and r...
متن کاملMid-infrared Raman amplification and wavelength conversion in dispersion engineered silicon-on-sapphire waveguides
Raman amplification based on stimulated Stokes Raman scattering (SSRS) and wavelength conversion based on coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) are theoretically investigated in silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) waveguides in the mid-infrared (IR) region. When the linear phase mismatch 1k is close to zero, the Stokes gain and conversion efficiency drop down quickly due to the effect of parametri...

This paper reviews recent results on wavelength conversion in Silicon. The conversion in the 1300 to 1550 range is achieved through parametric Raman coupling between the pump, Stokes and anti-Stokes waves. High signal-to-noise ratio is measured despite a limited conversion efficiency. Achieving high conversion efficiency requires phase matching in the waveguides as well as means to reduce waveg...
