Abstract

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.

Nonreciprocal Raman scattering in silicon waveguides

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.

Intensity-tunable group delay using stimulated Raman scattering in silicon slow-light waveguides

Steve Blair, Keke Zheng

We show that stimulated Raman scattering is a sufficiently strong effect in silicon waveguides to allow the intensity of a pump input to control the group delay of a weak Stokes-shifted signal. While the fractional change in group delay is minimal in a straight waveguide, microresonator enhancement can produce a fractional increase of 50% with respect to the linear group delay of the resonator.

Stimulated Raman scattering by particles captured in a trap

E. V. Baklanov, Е. А. Титов, V. P. Chebotaev

Particles captured in a trap are considered in the linear approximation with respect to a probe field. A resonance, having the width of a forbidden transition, is predicted for the stimulated Raman forward and backward scattering line profiles.

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.

Lossless optical modulation in a silicon waveguide using stimulated Raman scattering

Richard Jones, Ansheng Liu, Haisheng Rong +3 more

In this paper we describe a new modulation scheme using stimulated Raman scattering in conjunction with a reverse biased p-i-n diode embedded in a silicon waveguide. We show optical modulation of a weak probe beam by modulating the reverse bias voltage of the silicon waveguide excited by a strong pump beam. The probe beam modulation is due to the two-photon absorption-induced carrier density modulation in the waveguide. By tuning the probe wavelength to the Stokes wavelength, we demonstrate for the first time a lossless optical modulator in silicon with modulation speeds up to 80-MHz.

Non-Reciprocal Raman Gain in Suspended-Core and Nanowire Silica Optical Fibers

Michael M. Krause, Hagen Renner, E. Brinkmeyer

The Raman gain in suspended-core and nanowire silica optical fibers significantly depends on the relative propagation directions of the pump and Stokes waves, enabling applications for nonreciprocal components.
