Group IV photonics hold great potential for nonlinear applications in the near-and mid-
infrared (IR) wavelength ranges, exhibiting strong nonlinearities in bulk materials, high index …

We revisit the problem of the optimization of a silicon-nanocrystal (Si-NC) waveguide,
aiming to attain the maximum field confinement inside its nonlinear core and to ensure …

We propose a new type of bilayer dispersion-flattened waveguides that have four zero-
dispersion wavelengths. Low and flat dispersion can be achieved by using two different …

A strip/slot hybrid arsenic tri-sulfide waveguide with a horizontal silicon dioxide slot is
proposed. The waveguide exhibits an ultra-flat and low dispersion profile with four zero …

We present a waveguide design with low dispersion in mid-infrared wavelengths. The
design consists of slot-strip-slot structures horizontally, the strip structure is considered with …

The strength of Raman interaction between optical fields propagating through a silicon-
nanocrystal waveguide is known to significantly differ from that in bulk silicon and silicon-on …

Dispersion engineering is important in integrated photonics with a high index contrast. We
present an exploration of the parameter space in dispersion-engineered silicon multilayer …

We derive approximate analytic expressions for the effective susceptibility tensor of a
nonlinear composite, consisting of silicon nanocrystals embedded in fused silica. Two types …

Octave-spanning Kerr combs bridging the spectral windows of the near-infrared region (NIR)
and the mid-infrared (MIR) region are expected in a number of applications, including high …

A reverse ridge/slot hybrid chalcogenide glass (As 2 S 3) waveguide with two vertical silicon
dioxide slots is proposed in this paper. The fundamental quasi-TE mode of the waveguide …
