Nanoscale modal confinement is known to radically enhance the effect of intrinsic Kerr and Raman nonlinearities within nanophotonic silicon waveguides. By contrast, stimulated Brillouin-scattering nonlinearities, which involve coherent coupling between guided photon and phonon modes, are stifled in conventional nanophotonics, preventing the realization of a host of Brillouin-based signal-processing technologies in silicon. Here we demonstrate stimulated Brillouin scattering in silicon waveguides

Rapid progress in integrated photonics has fostered numerous chip-scale sensing, computing and signal processing technologies. However, many crucial filtering and signal delay operations are difficult to perform with all-optical devices. Unlike photons propagating at luminal speeds, GHz-acoustic phonons moving at slower velocities allow information to be stored, filtered and delayed over comparatively smaller length-scales with remarkable fidelity. Hence, controllable and efficient coupling betw

Quantum lithography (QL) has been suggested as a means of achieving enhanced spatial resolution for optical imaging, but its realization has been held back by the low multiphoton detection rates of recording materials. Recently, an optical centroid measurement (OCM) procedure was proposed as a way to obtain spatial resolution enhancement identical to that of QL but with higher detection efficiency (M. Tsang, Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 253601 (2009)). Here we describe a variation of the OCM method wit

When a pulse superposed on a cw background propagates through an erbium-doped fiber amplifier with a negative group velocity, either pulse broadening or pulse compression can be observed. These effects can be explained in terms of two competing mechanisms: gain recovery and pulse spectrum broadening. The distortion of the pulse shape caused by these effects depends on input pulse width, pump power, and background-to-pulse power ratio. With the proper choice of these three parameters, we can obta

We measure the nonlinear susceptibility of Bi(3.25)La(0.75)Ti(3)O(12) (BLT) thin films grown on quartz substrates using the Z-scan technique with picosecond laser pulses at a wavelength of 532 nm. The third-order nonlinear refractive index coefficient gamma and absorption coefficient beta of the BLT thin film are 3.1 x 10(-10) cm(2)/W and 3 x 10(-5) cm/W, respectively, which are much larger than those of most ferroelectric films. The results show that the BLT thin films on quartz substrates are

An on-chip optical power splitter is a key component of photonic signal processing and quantum integrated circuits and requires compactness, wideband, low insertion loss, and variable splitting ratio. However, designing an on-chip splitter with both customizable splitting ratio and wavelength independence is a big challenge. Here, we propose a tailorable and broadband optical power splitter over 100 nm with low insertion loss less than 0.3%, as well as a compact footprint, based on 1×2 interleav

A fiber-based photon-pair source in the telecom C-band is suitable for quantum information science including quantum communications. Spontaneous four-wave mixing effects are known to create photon pairs that are slightly detuned from the pump wavelength only in the anomalous groupvelocity-dispersion (GVD) regime. Here, we achieve high-quality photon-pair generation slightly detuned from the pump wavelength in the normal GVD regime through a dispersion shifted fiber, for the first time. The photo

Abstract An on‐chip quantum light source based on spontaneous four‐wave mixing is an essential element for developing quantum photonic integrated circuit technology, which has the advantage of no connection loss owing to the integration of the source into photonic circuits. The waveguide‐based quantum light source inevitably causes propagation loss owing to imperfections in the fabrication process, but the propagation loss effects on photon‐pair generation have not been extensively studied. In t

Implementing on-chip information processing systems through photonic-phononic interactions has attracted considerable interest owing to its potential for storing, sensing, and signal processing, but the generation and extinction of acoustic waves are determined by the existence of pump power and the phonon lifetime. Here, we demonstrate the acoustic-wave interference and active information manipulation by optically driven acoustic waves in a silicon photonic-phononic controller-emitter-receiver

Recent developments in on-chip forward Brillouin scattering open up potential applications such as RF photonic signal processing, on-chip Brillouin amplification, and on-chip Brillouin lasers. The stimulated Brillouin scattering gain coefficients become significant with a small optical mode area, and the Brillouin net amplification has been believed to be strong with a small mode area, too. However, here, we present a theoretical study of higher net amplification with a large optical mode area t

Photonic–phononic systems that mix photons and acoustic waves have been actively investigated for the development of next-generation integrated photonics for signal processing. Here, we propose a new method of arbitrary RF signal shaping using active control of optically driven acoustic-wave interference, offering new photonic–phononic–microwave signal processing schemes with MHz linewidths at GHz carrier frequencies. The demonstrated system consists of two suspended optical waveguides and an as

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Indistinguishability is a crucial element for quantum interference in scalable quantum information processing. Here, we demonstrate the ability to erase the distinguishability of a nondegenerate two-photon state using Bragg-scattering four-wave mixing (BS-FWM) by tuning the idler-photon frequency. We achieve a maximum translation efficiency of 93.2 ± 2.0% and verify the indistinguishability using a Hong–Ou–Mandel interferometer. The frequency an
