  • ultra low power parametric frequency conversion in a Silicon microring resonator
    Optics Express, 2008
    Co-Authors: Amy C. Turner, Mark A. Foster, Alexander L. Gaeta, Michal Lipson
    Abstract:

    We demonstrate parametric wavelength conversion via four-wave mixing using ultra-low peak pump powers of a few milliwatts in a micrometer-scale Silicon Device. The response time of our Device is 100 ps allowing for implementation in high-bandwidth optical communications. At these ultra-low power levels and microscale sizes, it should be possible to realize hundreds of these Devices operating simultaneously on a single chip.

  • All-optical regeneration on a Silicon chip
    Optics Express, 2007
    Co-Authors: Reza Salem, Michal Lipson, Mark A. Foster, Amy C. Turner, David F. Geraghty, Alexander L. Gaeta
    Abstract:

    We demonstrate optical 2R regeneration in an integrated Silicon Device consisting of an 8-mm-long nanowaveguide followed by a ring-resonator bandpass filter. The regeneration process is based on nonlinear spectral broadening in the waveguide and subsequent spectral filtering through the ring resonator. We measure the nonlinear power transfer function for the Device and find an operating peak power of 6 W. Measurements indicate that the output pulse width is determined only by the bandwidth of the bandpass filter. Numerical modeling of the nonlinear process including free-carrier effects shows that this Device can be used for all-optical regeneration at telecommunication data rates.

  • Integrated Optical Regenerator on a Silicon Chip
    2007 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO), 2007
    Co-Authors: Reza Salem, Mark A. Foster, Amy C. Turner, David F. Geraghty, Alexander L. Gaeta, Michal Lipson
    Abstract:

    We demonstrate all-optical regeneration in a Silicon Device consisting of a nano waveguide followed by an integrated bandpass filter. Nonlinear power transfer function was measured showing the Device can operate at peak powers < 5W.

  • optical bistability on a Silicon chip
    Optics Letters, 2004
    Co-Authors: Vilson R. Almeida, Michal Lipson
    Abstract:

    We demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, optical bistability on a highly integrated Silicon Device, using a 5‐µm-radius ring resonator. The strong light-confinement nature of the resonator induces nonlinear optical response with low pump power. We show that the optical bistability allows all-optical functionalities, such as switching and memory with microsecond time response and a modulation depth of 10 dB, driven by pump power as low as 45 µW. Silicon optical bistability relies on a fast thermal nonlinear optical effect presenting a 500-kHz modulation bandwidth.

  • Electronic structure of Silicon nitride
    Physics-Uspekhi, 2012
    Co-Authors: Vladimir A. Gritsenko
    Abstract:

    Amorphous oxide SiO2, oxynitride SiOxNy, and Silicon nitride Si3N4 are the three key dielectric materials of Silicon Device technology. Silicon nitride is currently finding use in a variety of applications, in particular, as a storage medium in next-generation flash memory Devices. Varying the chemical composition of nonstoichiometric Silicon-rich SiNx allows a wide-range control of its optical and electrical properties. In this review, an analysis of the electronic structure of Silicon nitride of varying composition is presented.
