Parametric gain and wavelength conversion via third order nonlinear optics a CMOS compatible waveguide

Abstract

We demonstrate sub-picosecond wavelength conversion in the C-band via four wave mixing in a 45cm long high index doped silica spiral waveguide. We achieve an on/off conversion efficiency (signal to idler) of +16.5dB as well as a parametric gain of +15dB for a peak pump power of 38W over a wavelength range of 100nm. Furthermore, we demonstrated a minimum gain of +5dB over a wavelength range as large as 200nm.
