The emergence of silicon photonics over the past two decades has established silicon as a
preferred substrate platform for photonic integration. While most silicon-based photonic …

Group IV photonics hold great potential for nonlinear applications in the near-and mid-
infrared (IR) wavelength ranges, exhibiting strong nonlinearities in bulk materials, high index …

Integrated nonlinear photonics provides transformative capabilities for controlling,
enhancing and manipulating material nonlinearities in miniaturized on-chip platforms. The …

We demonstrate the generation of a supercontinuum in a 2 cm long silicon wire by pumping
the wire with mid-infrared picosecond pulses in the anomalous dispersion regime. The …

Extending beyond traditional telecom-band applications to optical interconnects, the silicon
nanophotonic integrated circuit platform also has notable advantages for use in high …

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 …

We demonstrate optically stable amorphous silicon nanowires with both high nonlinear
figure of merit (FOM) of~ 5 and high nonlinearity Re (γ)= 1200W^− 1m^− 1. We observe no …

We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of octave-spanning
supercontinuum generation (SCG) on a silicon chip, spanning from the telecommunications …

We introduce the notion of dissipative optical parametric amplifiers (DOPA) and demonstrate
that, even in the absence of the Hermitian phase-matching condition in these structures, the …

We demonstrate electrooptic modulation at a wavelength of 2165nm, using a free-carrier
injection-based silicon Mach-Zehnder modulator. The modulator has a V_π∙ L figure of merit …
