  • low power continuous wave four wave mixing in silicon coupled resonator Optical Waveguides
    Optics Letters, 2011
    Co-Authors: Jun Rong Ong, Michael L Cooper, Greeshma Gupta, William M J Green, Solomon Assefa, Fengnian Xia, Shayan Mookherjea
    Abstract:

    We demonstrate four-wave mixing in silicon-on-insulator coupled-resonator Optical Waveguides consisting of 35 and 65 microring resonators, using a cw pump with coupled power below 20 mW and observed parametric conversion across more than 10 THz. The conversion efficiency is enhanced by +16 dB relative to a silicon straight waveguide of equivalent length, due to the slowing factor of the coupled-resonator structure.

  • statistics of light transport in 235 ring silicon coupled resonator Optical Waveguides
    Optics Express, 2010
    Co-Authors: Michael L Cooper, Yurii A Vlasov, Greeshma Gupta, Mark A Schneider, William M J Green, Solomon Assefa, Fengnian Xia, Shayan Mookherjea
    Abstract:

    In contrast to recent reports of localization-impaired transport in long slow-light Waveguides, we demonstrate light transport in silicon coupled-resonator Optical Waveguides (CROWs) consisting of up to 235 coupled microrings without localization over frequency bands that are several hundred gigahertz wide. Furthermore, from the unique statistical signatures provided by time-domain propagation delay measurements, we demonstrate the spectrally correlated nature of light propagation in CROWs.

  • matrix analysis of microring coupled resonator Optical Waveguides
    Optics Express, 2004
    Co-Authors: Joyce K S Poon, Shayan Mookherjea, Jacob Scheuer, George T Paloczi, Yanyi Huang, Amnon Yariv
    Abstract:

    We use the coupling matrix formalism to investigate continuous-wave and pulse propagation through microring coupled-resonator Optical Waveguides (CROWs). The dispersion relation agrees with that derived using the tight-binding model in the limit of weak inter-resonator coupling. We obtain an analytical expression for pulse propagation through a semi-infinite CROW in the case of weak coupling which fully accounts for the nonlinear dispersive characteristics. We also show that intensity of a pulse in a CROW is enhanced by a factor inversely proportional to the inter-resonator coupling. In finite CROWs, anomalous dispersions allows for a pulse to propagate with a negative group velocity such that the output pulse appears to emerge before the input as in “superluminal” propagation. The matrix formalism is a powerful approach for microring CROWs since it can be applied to structures and geometries for which analyses with the commonly used tight-binding approach are not applicable.

  • coupled resonator Optical Waveguides
    IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics, 2002
    Co-Authors: Shayan Mookherjea, Amnon Yariv
    Abstract:

    Properties of the recently introduced family of coupled resonator Optical Waveguides (CROWs) are reviewed, particularly with reference to CROWs designed as planar Waveguides in two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs to enhance nonlinear interactions and develop novel all-Optical information processing devices. Topics covered include: pulse propagation both in the nondispersive approximation and to all orders of dispersion, and the coupled mode theory of nonlinear optics with pulses in CROWs and its applications to second-harmonic generation and wave coupling via field-induced refractive-index gratings. We also review recent experimental progress in the fabrication and characterization of CROWs, and applications of the CROW concept to fiber gratings and microwave Waveguides.

  • transmission and group delay of microring coupled resonator Optical Waveguides
    Optics Letters, 2006
    Co-Authors: Joyce K S Poon, Guy A Derose, Amnon Yariv
    Abstract:

    We measured the transmission and group delay of microring coupled-resonator Optical Waveguides (CROWs). The CROWs consisted of 12 weakly coupled, microring resonators fabricated in Optical polymers (PMMA on Cytop). The intrinsic quality factor of the resonators was 18,000 and the interresonator coupling was 1%, resulting in a delay of 110-140 ps and a slowing factor of 23-29 over a 17 GHz bandwidth.

  • coupled resonator Optical Waveguides toward the slowing and storage of light
    Optics & Photonics News, 2005
    Co-Authors: Jacob Scheuer, Joyce K S Poon, George T Paloczi, Amnon Yariv
    Abstract:

    The development of a simple, solid-state-based technology to slow the propagation of light could prove an important step in the realization of the high-bit-rate communication systems of the future. The use of coupled resonator Optical Waveguides (CROWs) as practical elements to slow and store light pulses is one possibility.

  • coupled resonator Optical Waveguides based on silicon on insulator photonic wires
    Applied Physics Letters, 2006
    Co-Authors: Fengnia Xia, Lidija Sekaric, Martin P Oboyle, Yurii A Vlasov
    Abstract:

    Coupled resonator Optical Waveguides (CROWs) comprised of up to 16 racetrack resonators based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) photonic wires were fabricated and characterized. The Optical properties of the CROWs were simulated using measured single resonator parameters based on a matrix approach. The group delay property of CROWs was also analyzed. The SOI based CROWs consisting of multiple resonators have extremely small footprints and can find applications in Optical filtering, dispersion compensation, and Optical buffering. Moreover, such CROW structure is a promising candidate for exploration of low light level nonlinear optics due to its resonant nature and compact mode size (∼0.1μm2) in photonic wire.

  • full vectorial finite element beam propagation method with perfectly matched layers for anisotropic Optical Waveguides
    Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2001
    Co-Authors: Kunimasa Saitoh, Masanori Koshiba
    Abstract:

    Perfectly matched layer (PML) boundary conditions are incorporated into the full-vectorial beam propagation method (BPM) based on a finite element scheme for the three-dimensional (3-D) anisotropic Optical waveguide analysis. In the present approach, edge elements based on linear-tangential and quadratic-normal vector basis functions are used for the transverse field components. To show the validity and usefulness of this approach, numerical examples are shown for Gaussian beam propagation in proton-exchanged LiNbO/sub 3/ Optical Waveguides. Numerical accuracy of the present PML boundary condition is investigated in detail by comparing the results with those of the conventional absorbing boundary condition (ABC).
