Temperature dependence of the Kerr nonlinearity and two-photon absorption in a silicon waveguide at 1.55μm

Gary F. Sinclair, Nicola A. Tyler, Döndü Sahin +2

We measure the temperature dependence of the two-photon absorption and optical Kerr nonlinearity of a silicon waveguide over a range of temperatures from 5.5 to 300 K at a waveleng…
