Ultrafast nonlinear optical studies of silicon nanowaveguides.
Results of a self-consistent ultrafast study of nonlinear optical properties of silicon nanowaveguides using heterodyne pump-probe technique are reported. The two-photon absorption coefficient and free-carrier absorption effective cross-section were determined to be 0.68cm/GW, and 1.9x10(-17) cm2, respectively and the Kerr coefficient and free-carrier-induced refractive index change 0.32x10(-13...
متن کاملIntegrated Ultrafast Nonlinear Optical Devices in Silicon
Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) provides an intriguing system for developing massively integrated optics. By leveraging the processes and systems developed for electronics fabrication, it is possible to make highly repeatable devices where complexity can be scaled up through the use of wafer-scale batch fabrication. Because the mode concentration in silicon waveguides is two orders of magnitude high...
متن کاملNonlinear Black Phosphorus for Ultrafast Optical Switching
The outstanding electronic and optical properties of black phosphorus (BP) in a two-dimensional (2D) but unique single-layer puckered structure have opened intense research interest ranging from fundamental physics to nanoscale applications covering the electronic and optical domains. The direct and controllable electronic bandgap facilitating wide range of tunable optical response coupled with...
متن کاملUltrafast optical switching based on nonlinear polarization rotation in silicon waveguides.
We experimentally realize ultrafast all-optical switching in the 1.5-microm spectral region using cross-phase modulation inside a 5-mm long silicon waveguide. Modulation depths of up to 90% and switching window durations approximately 1 ps are achieved using 500-fs pump pulses with energies below 10 pJ.
متن کاملRaman amplification of optical pulses in silicon nanowaveguides: Impact of spectral broadening of pump pulses
We consider the Raman amplification problem for silicon waveguides in the regime in which both the pump and signal pulses are relatively short but wide enough that their duration exceeds the phonon lifetime (about 3 ps in silicon). We use the coupled pump-signal equations for numerical simulations that include all competing nonlinear effects such as selfand cross-phase modulations, two-photon a...
