Dispersive wave emission and supercontinuum generation in a silicon wire waveguide pumped around the 1550 nm telecommunication wavelength.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We experimentally and numerically study dispersive wave emission, soliton fission, and supercontinuum generation in a silicon wire at telecommunication wavelengths. Through dispersion engineering, we experimentally confirm a previously reported numerical study and show that the emission of resonant radiation from the solitons can lead to the generation of a supercontinuum spanning over 500 nm. An excellent agreement with numerical simulations is observed.

متن کاملCoherent supercontinuum generation in a silicon photonic wire in the telecommunication wavelength range.
We demonstrate a fully coherent supercontinuum spectrum spanning 500 nm from a silicon-on-insulator photonic wire waveguide pumped at 1575 nm wavelength. An excellent agreement with numerical simulations is reported. The simulations also show that a high level of two-photon absorption can essentially enforce the coherence of the spectral broadening process irrespective of the pump pulse duration.
متن کاملDispersive-wave-based octave-spanning supercontinuum generation in InGaP membrane waveguides on a silicon substrate.
We demonstrate the generation of an octave-spanning supercontinuum in InGaP membrane waveguides on a silicon substrate pumped by a 1550-nm femtosecond source. The broadband nature of the supercontinuum in these dispersion-engineered high-index-contrast waveguides is enabled by dispersive wave generation on both sides of the pump as well as by the low nonlinear losses inherent to the material. W...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling of a Fredkin gate using photonic-crystal-based nonlinear effects around the 1550 nm telecommunication wavelength
In this paper, a Fredkin gate using photonic-crystal around the 1550 nm telecommunication wavelength is modelled. The proposed structure has a compact footprint compared with previous works of research groups. The proposed structure is based on air holes on silicon substrate. Silicon substrate and air holes have 466 nm and 177 nm radius, respectively. For analyse of the structure Finite-Differe...
متن کاملTowards an analytical framework for tailoring supercontinuum generation.
A fully analytical toolbox for supercontinuum generation relying on scenarios without pulse splitting is presented. Furthermore, starting from the new insights provided by this formalism about the physical nature of direct and cascaded dispersive wave emission, a unified description of this radiation in both normal and anomalous dispersion regimes is derived. Previously unidentified physics of ...
