Four-wave mixing in silicon coupled-cavity resonators with port-selective, orthogonal supermode excitation.

چکیده
We propose coupled-cavity triply-resonant systems for degenerate-pump four-wave mixing (FWM) applications that support strong nonlinear interaction between distributed pump, signal and idler modes, and allow independent coupling of the pump mode and signal/idler modes to separate ports based on nonuniform supermode profile. We demonstrate seeded FWM with wavelength conversion efficiency of -54 dB at input pump power of 3.5 dBm, and discuss applications of such orthogonal supermode coupling.

Travelling-wave resonant four-wave mixing breaks the limits of cavity-enhanced all-optical wavelength conversion
Wave mixing inside optical resonators, while experiencing a large enhancement of the nonlinear interaction efficiency, suffers from strong bandwidth constraints, preventing its practical exploitation for processing broad-band signals. Here we show that such limits are overcome by the new concept of travelling-wave resonant four-wave mixing (FWM). This approach combines the efficiency enhancemen...
متن کاملDesign of triply-resonant microphotonic parametric oscillators based on Kerr nonlinearity.
We propose optimal designs for triply-resonant optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) based on degenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) in microcavities. We show that optimal designs in general call for different external coupling to pump and signal/idler resonances. We provide a number of normalized performance metrics including threshold pump power and maximum achievable conversion efficiency for OPO...
متن کاملSupermode-density-wave-polariton condensation with a Bose–Einstein condensate in a multimode cavity
Phase transitions, where observable properties of a many-body system change discontinuously, can occur in both open and closed systems. By placing cold atoms in optical cavities and inducing strong coupling between light and excitations of the atoms, one can experimentally study phase transitions of open quantum systems. Here we observe and study a non-equilibrium phase transition, the condensa...

We report on optical properties of Fabry-Pérot (FP) resonator based on Si-air one-dimensional photonic crystal (1D PC) with coupled triple-cavity modes (or defects). These defects obtained by infiltration of the air-cavity with the filler of tunable refractive index. The coupled FP resonators design is CMOS compatible and has potential for application in tuning an individual transmission bands ...
