چکیده

We demonstrate low loss photonic crystal waveguides in chalcogenide (Ge(33)As(12)Se(55)) glasses. The measured losses are as low as 21 dB/cm. We experimentally determine the refractive index of the thin film chalcogenide glass to be n = 2.6 and demonstrate that dispersion engineering can be performed up to a group index of ng = 40 in this relatively low refractive index contrast system.

Third-harmonic generation in slow-light chalcogenide glass photonic crystal waveguides.

We demonstrate third-harmonic generation (THG) in a dispersion-engineered slow-light photonic crystal waveguide fabricated in AMTIR-1 chalcogenide glass. Owing to the relatively low loss and low dispersion in the slow-light (c/30) regime, combined with the high nonlinear figure of merit of the material (∼2), we obtain a relatively large conversion efficiency (1.4×10(-8)/W(2)), which is 30× high...

Low-loss photonic device in Ge-Sb-S chalcogenide glass.

Low-loss waveguides constitute an important building block for integrated photonic systems. In this work, we investigated low-loss photonic device fabrication in Ge23Sb7S70 chalcogenide glass using electron beam lithography followed by plasma dry etching. High-index-contrast waveguides with a low propagation loss of 0.5 dB/cm and microdisk resonators with an int...

Extrinsic optical scattering loss in photonic crystal waveguides: role of fabrication disorder and photon group velocity.

Formulas are presented that provide clear physical insight into the phenomenon of extrinsic optical scattering loss in photonic crystal waveguides due to random fabrication imperfections such as surface roughness and disorder. Using a photon Green-function-tensor formalism, we derive explicit expressions for the backscattered and total transmission losses. Detailed calculations for planar photo...

Flattened Dispersion of Hexagonal Chalcogenide As 2 Se 3 Glass Photonic Crystal Fiber with a Large Core

In this paper, we have proposed a novel structure of the fabrication of a chalcogenide As2Se3 glass photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with increased core diameter. As comparision with the normal PCFs in which silica glass is used as core material, the proposed PCF has following feature; firstly we have used the chalcogenide As2Se3 glass as core material in which the first ring area contains no air h...
