Nonlinear silicon photonics

Abstract: Silicon photonics is a technology based on fabricating integrated optical circuits by using the same paradigms as the dominant electronics industry. After twenty years of fervid development, silicon photonics is entering the market with low cost, high performance and mass-manufacturable optical devices. Until now, most silicon photonic devices have been based on linear optical effects, despite the many phenomenologies associated with nonlinear optics in both bulk materials and integrated waveguides. Silicon an… Show more

“…where N is the free carrier density generated by the pumps (considering an effective carrier lifetime of 5 ns) while σ θ and µ θ represent the free carrier absorption and the free carrier dispersion terms, respectively [22], [23]. The parameters used in numerical simulations are reported in Tab.…”

“…Although the promising results have been recently reported in the integration of LN [6,7], nowadays the technologies used to realize integrated devices with large-χ (2) materials are less advanced than the one based on silicon. In fact, the Complementary-Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology developed for microelectronics is well established, and this enabled the realization of high quality silicon-based devices [8]. However, due to the centrosymmetry of crystalline silicon, χ (2) processes are strongly inhibited [8].…”

“…In fact, the Complementary-Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology developed for microelectronics is well established, and this enabled the realization of high quality silicon-based devices [8]. However, due to the centrosymmetry of crystalline silicon, χ (2) processes are strongly inhibited [8]. Therefore, nonlinear silicon photonics makes use of the third order nonlinear susceptibilities χ (3) of silicon, with which different phenomena and a large variety of applications have been demonstrated [8].…”

“…Before the 21st century, most academic research on the silicon crystal industry was performed from a national and provincial perspective [18][19][20]. Regarding this perspective, Yonghua Shou et al studied the development of the world silicon crystal industry, introduced information on the production of polysilicon in developed countries, such as Japan and the United States, introduced the defects in the production technology of silicon crystals in detail, and predicted the development trend of silicon materials [21].…”
