Abstract

We experimentally investigate four-wave mixing (FWM) in short (80 μm) dispersion-engineered slow light silicon photonic crystal waveguides. The pump, probe and idler signals all lie in a 14 nm wide low dispersion region with a near-constant group velocity of c/30. We measure an instantaneous conversion efficiency of up to −9dB between the idler and the continuous-wave probe, with 1W peak pump power and 6nm pump-probe detuning. This conversion efficiency is found to be considerably higher (>10 × ) than that of a Si nanowire with a group velocity ten times larger. In addition, we estimate the FWM bandwidth to be at least that of the flat band slow light window. These results, supported by numerical simulations, emphasize the importance of engineering the dispersion of PhC waveguides to exploit the slow light enhancement of FWM efficiency, even for short device lengths.

Fig. 6
Fig. 6 Phase factor φ versus β2 calculated for 6nm pump-probe detuning, 1W pump power and waveguides of length L = 80μm (except for the black curve, L = 500μm). The red, green, and blue curves correspond to the three PhC waveguides with characteristics summarized in Table 1. Note that the blue curve (β4 = −6.10−46) is shifted towards larger β2 values with respect to the green and red (β4 = 0) curves, and the red curve is shifted towards lower β2 values with respect to the green due to its higher γ.

Table 1 Summary of the conversion efficiency predicted by Eq. (1) for 1W pump power for the two waveguides probed in section 3, compared with typical W1 PhC waveguides having either low vg (c/30) and high (negative) dispersion or higher vg (c/10) and lower dispersion. The conversion efficiency η = Pidler(L)/Pprobe(0) and the phase factor φ resulting from dispersion are calculated for 6nm pump-probe detuning. The waveguide length L, the propagation loss αL and second- and fourth-order dispersion β2 and β4 are indicated for the different structures
