Nonreciprocal Raman scattering in silicon waveguides

Abstract

Raman-induced optical nonreciprocity in silicon photonic wires is demonstrated experimentally for the first time. Depending on crystallographic orientation, the ratio of counter-and co-propagating Raman efficiencies varies between 1.63 and 4.35.

Measurement of nonreciprocal stimulated Raman scattering in silicon photonic wires

Michael M. Krause, Jost Müller, E. Brinkmeyer

Nonreciprocal stimulated Raman scattering in a silicon waveguide is shown experimentally for the first time: the measured backward-to-forward transmission ratio is enhanced when a probe laser is tuned to the Stokes wavelength.

Nanoscale Isolation with Circularly Polarized Stimulated Raman Scattering in a Doubly-resonant Silicon Metasurface for Subwavelength Nonreciprocity

Jefferson Dixon, Harsha Reddy, Sahil Dagli +2 more

Nonreciprocal devices allow light to pass in one-direction only, which is critical for the stable operation of photonic systems, but conventional isolators remain prohibitively large. We fabricate and demonstrate metasurfaces for sub-micron nonreciprocal Raman amplification.

Correlated Photon Pairs Using Silicon Waveguides

Qinglong Lin, Govind Prasad Agrawal

We propose to use four-wave mixing inside silicon waveguides for generating correlated photon pairs. We present a theory that includes all noise sources and provides an analytic expression for the pair correlation. In contrast to optical fibers, the quality of photon pairs is not degraded by Raman scattering.

Role of Raman Scattering on Correlated Photon Pairs Generated Through Four-Wave Mixing

Qinglong Lin, Govind Prasad Agrawal

We discuss photon-pair correlation under the combined effects of four-wave mixing and Raman scattering inside optical fibers and silicon waveguides. Our theory is vectorial in nature and includes all polarization effects.

Optically Induced Indirect Photonic Transitions in a Slow Light Photonic Crystal Waveguide

Michel Castellanos Muñoz, Alexander Yu. Petrov, Liam O’Faoláin +3 more

We demonstrate indirect photonic transitions in a silicon slow light photonic crystal waveguide. The transitions are driven by an optically generated refractive index front that moves along the waveguide and interacts with a signal pulse copropagating in the structure. We experimentally confirm a theoretical model which indicates that the ratio of the frequency and wave vector shifts associated with the indirect photonic transition is identical to the propagation velocity of the refractive index front. The physical origin of the transitions achieved here is fundamentally different than in previously proposed refractive index modulation concepts with fixed temporal and spatial modulation frequencies; as here, the interaction with the refractive index front results in a Doppler-like signal frequency and wave vector shift. Consequently, the bandwidth over which perfect mode frequency and wave vector matching is achieved is not intrinsically limited by the shape of the photonic bands, and tuning of the indirect photonic transitions is possible without any need for geometrical modifications of the structure. Our device is genuinely nonreciprocal, as it provides different frequency shifts for co- and counterpropagating signal and index fronts.

Photon-pair Generation via Raman-active N2 Defects in Silicon Nitride Waveguides

Kathleen Oolman, Kai Shinbrough, Virginia O. Lorenz

We show preliminary photon-pair generation data from Raman-active interstitial N2 defects in silicon nitride waveguides. Using calculated phase-mismatch of the propagating photons, we propose an experimental scheme for deterministic single-photon generation using non-degenerate pumping wavelengths.
