Demonstration of Vpi Reduction in Electrooptic Modulators using Modulation Instability

David Borlaug, Peter T. S. DeVore, Ali Rostami +2

Reduction in the operating voltage of electrooptic modulators is needed in order to remove the bottleneck in the flow of data between electronics and optical interconnects. We repo…

Enhancing the Electrooptic Effect Using Modulation Instability

Peter T. S. DeVore, David Borlaug, Bahram Jalali

As electronic operating frequencies increase toward the terahertz regime, new electrooptic modulators capable of low-voltage high-frequency operation must be developed to provide t…

Raman Beam Cleanup in Silicon in the Mid-Infrared

David Borlaug, Robert Rice, Bahram Jalali

We report evidence of beam cleanup during stimulated Raman scattering in silicon. An amplified near-diffraction-limited Stokes beam is obtained from a severely aberrated pump beam.

Extreme value statistics and the Pareto distribution in silicon photonics

David Borlaug, Sasan Fathpour, Bahram Jalali

L-shape probability distributions are extremely non-Gaussian distributions that have been surprisingly successful in describing the frequency of occurrence of extreme events, rangi…

Extreme Value Statistics in Silicon Photonics

David Borlaug, Bahram Jalali

We show that fluctuations of Raman amplified pulses, in the presence of a noisy pump, follow extreme value statistics, and provide mathematical insight into the origin of this perp…

Demonstration of a mid infrared silicon Raman amplifier

Varun Raghunathan, David Borlaug, Robert Rice +1

We demonstrate for the first time a mid infrared silicon Raman amplifier. Amplification of 12 dB is reported for a signal at 3.39 micron wavelength. The active medium was a 2.5 cm…
