چکیده
We present an octave spanning supercontinuum (at the -35 dB level) ranging from 1100 nm to 2500 nm in InGaP photonic wire waveguides that are bonded to a silicon substrate and pumped by an ultrashort pulsed laser centered at 1550 nm.

Dispersive-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 کاملOn-chip two-octave supercontinuum generation by enhancing self-steepening of optical pulses.
Dramatic advances in supercontinuum generation have been made recently using photonic crystal fibers, but it is quite challenging to obtain an octave-spanning supercontinuum on a chip, partially because of strong dispersion in high-index-contrast nonlinear integrated waveguides. We show by simulation that extremely flat and low dispersion can be achieved in silicon nitride slot waveguides over ...
متن کاملSupercontinuum generation in hydrogenated amorphous silicon waveguides at telecommunication wavelengths.
We report supercontinuum (SC) generation centered on the telecommunication C-band (1550 nm) in CMOS compatible hydrogenated amorphous silicon waveguides. A broadening of more than 550 nm is obtained in 1cm long waveguides of different widths using as pump picosecond pulses with on chip peak power as low as 4 W.
متن کاملMode-locked picosecond pulse generation from an octave-spanning supercontinuum.
We generate mode-locked picosecond pulses near 1110 nm by spectrally slicing and reamplifying an octave-spanning supercontinuum source pumped at 1550 nm. The 1110 nm pulses are near transform-limited, with 1.7 ps duration over their 1.2 nm bandwidth, and exhibit high interpulse coherence. Both the supercontinuum source and the pulse synthesis system are implemented completely in fiber. The vers...
متن کاملSupercontinuum generation in silicon waveguides relying on wave-breaking.
Four-wave-mixing processes enabled during optical wave-breaking (OWB) are exploited in this paper for supercontinuum generation. Unlike conventional approaches based on OWB, phase-matching is achieved here for these nonlinear interactions, and, consequently, new frequency production becomes more efficient. We take advantage of this kind of pulse propagation to obtain numerically a coherent octa...
