Nanosecond Tunable Optical Delay using Silicon Cavities
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a tunable delay element that is inherently insensitive to free-carrier loss and achieves up to nanosecond delays even when tuned slowly. This will enable electrically tunable buffers on a silicon chip. ©2009 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices ; (230.5750) Resonators ;(230.2090) Electro-optical devices

Adiabatic self-tuning in a silicon microdisk optical resonator.
We demonstrate a method for adiabatically self-tuning a silicon microdisk resonator. This mechanism is not only able to sensitively probe the fast nonlinear cavity dynamics, but also provides various optical functionalities like pulse compression, shaping, and tunable time delay.
متن کاملOptical field enhancement factor of Silicon and indium phosphide nano-cavities
Nano cavities based on silicon and indium phosphide materials have been comparedin this study, considering field intensity enhancement factor. The results of FDTD based simulations declare that the Si nano-cavity improves confined optical field about 7.7 times higher than the InP based nano-cavity. The introduced dielectric nano-cavities support resonance wavelength at about λ=1.55 μm.
متن کامل1 micros tunable delay using parametric mixing and optical phase conjugation in Si waveguides.
We demonstrate continuously tunable optical delays as large as 1.1 micros range for 10 Gb/s NRZ optical signals based on four-wave mixing (FWM) process in silicon waveguide. The large delay range is made possible by a novel wavelength-optimized optical phase conjugation scheme, which allows for tunable dispersion compensation to minimize the residual group-velocity dispersion (GVD) for the enti...
متن کاملWide-bandwidth continuously tunable optical delay line using silicon microring resonators.
We demonstrate a distortion free tunable optical delay as long as 135 ps with a 10 GHz bandwidth using thermally tuned silicon microring resonators in the novel balanced configuration. The device is simple, easy to control and compact measuring only 30 µm wide by 250 µm long.
متن کاملGeneration of tunable narrow bandwidth nanosecond pulses in the deep ultraviolet for efficient optical pumping and high resolution spectroscopy.
Nanosecond optical pulses with high power and spectral brightness in the deep ultraviolet (UV) region have been produced by sum frequency mixing of nearly transform-limited-bandwidth IR light originating from a home-built injection-seeded ring cavity KTiOPO(4) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) and the fourth harmonic beam of an injection-seeded Nd:YAG laser used simultaneously to pump the OPO...
