We report evidence of beam cleanup during stimulated Raman scattering in silicon. An amplified near-diffraction-limited Stokes beam is obtained from a severely aberrated pump beam.

Multi-Mode Mid-IR Silicon Raman Amplifiers
This paper discusses the prospects of silicon as a Mid-wave Infra-red Raman crystal. As a specific example of novel devices that can be realized, we introduce the concept of multi-mode silicon Raman amplifiers and their application in infrared image pre-amplification. The same technology also has application in incoherent beam combining.
متن کاملMid-IR Silicon Raman Lasers
Silicon is arguably the best Raman medium for the mid-wave infrared spectrum. This new technology can expand the application space of silicon photonics beyond data communication and into biochemical sensing, laser medicine, and LIDAR.
متن کاملDemonstration of a Mid-infrared silicon Raman amplifier.
We demonstrate, for the first time, a mid infrared silicon Raman amplifier. Amplification of 12 dB is reported for a signal at 3.39 micron wavelength. The active medium was a 2.5 cm long silicon sample that was pumped with 5ns pulses at 2.88 micron. Such a technology can potentially extend silicon photonics' application beyond data communication in the near IR and into the mid-IR world of remot...
متن کاملMid-infrared soliton and Raman frequency comb generation in silicon microrings.
We numerically study the mechanisms of frequency comb generation in the mid-infrared spectral region from cw-pumped silicon microring resonators. Coherent soliton comb generation may be obtained even for a pump with zero linear cavity detuning, through suitable control of the effective lifetime of free carriers from multiphoton absorption, which introduces a nonlinear cavity detuning via free-c...
متن کاملPump-to-Stokes relative intensity noise transfer and analytical modeling of mid-infrared silicon Raman lasers.
An analytical model for mid-infrared (mid-IR) silicon Raman lasers (SRLs) is developed. The relative intensity noise (RIN) transfer from the pump to the Stokes in the lasers is also investigated. The analytical model can be used as a versatile and efficient tool for analysis, design and optimization of mid-IR SRLs. It is shown that conversion efficiency of 70% is attainable and the low-frequenc...
