Temperature and Pulse-Energy Range Suitable for Femtosecond Pulse Transmission in Si Nanowire Waveguide
Source abstract
Abstract
We experimentally measured the femtosecond pulse transmission through a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) nanowire waveguide under different temperatures and input pulse energy with a cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating (XFROG) measurement setup. The experimental results demonstrated that the temperature and pulse energy dependence of the Si photonic nanowire waveguide (SPNW) is interesting rather than just monotonous or linear, and that the suitable temperature and pulse-energy range is as suggested in this experiment, which will be valuable for analyzing the practical design of the operating regimes and the fine dispersion engineering of various ultrafast photonic applications based on the SPNWs. The research results will contribute to developing the SPNWs with photonic elements and networks compatible with mature complementary metal–oxide–semiconductors (CMOS).
