Abstract

A novel dynamical slow light cell with a tunable group delay, fabricated in silicon-on-insulator, is demonstrated. It provides a tuning range of more than 1 ns, with a usable group delay of about 0-24 ps.

Optically Tunable Delay Line in Silicon Microring Resonator Based on Thermal Nonlinear Effect

Fangfei Liu, Qiang Li, Ziyang Zhang +2 more

We experimentally demonstrate optically tunable delay line in a silicon microring resonator with a 20- m radius. The delay-tuning mechanism is based on the red shift of the resonance induced by thermal nonlinear effect. We investigate the delay performance of three modulation formats-non-return-to-zero (NRZ), return-to-zero (RZ), and differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) signals at different data rates. Tunable delay is achieved by controlling the power of the continuous-wave (CW) pump with very low tuning threshold, which could be used in microring-resonator-based slow-light structure.

All-optical slow-light on a photonic chip

We demonstrate optically tunable delays in a silicon-on-insulator planar waveguide based on slow light induced by stimulated Raman scattering (SRS). Inside an 8-mm-long nanoscale waveguide, we produce a group-index change of 0.15 and generate controllable delays as large as 4 ps for signal pulses as short as 3 ps. The scheme can be implemented at bandwidths exceeding 100 GHz for wavelengths spanning the entire low-loss fiber-optics communications window and thus represents an important step in the development of chip-scale photonics devices that process light with light.
