Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An all-fiber integrated nonlinear silicon photonic wavelength converter has been proposed and fabricated using the silicon core fiber platform. The silicon fiber was spliced directly to a conventional single mode fiber, facilitated via an inverse tapered nano-spike that helped to reduce the mode mismatch between the different core materials. Four-wave mixing-based wavelength conversion with an efficiency as high as -22.1 dB has been achieved for selected wavelengths across the C-band in a device length of only similar to 1 cm. Successful conversion of quadrature phase-shift keying signals at a 20-Gb/s bitrate, with a 1 to 2 dB penalty level at the bit error ratio (BER) = 3.8 x 10(-3), was used to demonstrate the suitability of the silicon fiber device for the construction of ultra-compact, all-fiber-based optical signal processing systems.

Wavelength conversion and supercontinuum generation in silicon optical fibers
- 2017
-
In: IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics. - 1077-260X .- 1558-4542. ; 24:3
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper describes the state of the art in wavelength conversion and supercontinuum generation using glass-clad silicon core optical fibers. Such semiconductor fibers have enjoyed considerable attention due to their intrinsically high third-order nonlinearities, which are markedly higher than in conventional infrared glasses. Results to date from small core silicon fibers fabricated using both the high-pressure chemical vapor deposition technique and the molten core drawing method are presented. Also discussed are directions for continued study and development, including engineering the dispersion and nonlinear properties as well as improved interconnection.
