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 …

We demonstrate ultrabroad-bandwidth low-power frequency conversion of continuous-wave
light in a dispersion engineered silicon nanowaveguide via four-wave mixing. Our process …

Ultrahigh nonlinear tapered fiber and planar rib Chalcogenide waveguides have been
developed to enable high-speed all-optical signal processing in compact, low-loss optical …

We report first observation of net-gain from an optical parametric amplifier in a planar
waveguide. This was achieved in a low-loss As_2S_3 planar waveguide, with a strong …

We characterize the nonlinear propagation of picosecond pulses in chalcogenide As_2S_3
single-mode fiber using a pump-probe technique. The cross-phase modulation (XPM) …

Abstract Thin films of Ge–As–Se chalcogenide glasses have been deposited by thermal
evaporation from bulk material and submitted to thermal treatments. The linear refractive …

We demonstrate broadband wavelength conversion of a 40 Gb/s return-to-zero signal using
four-wave-mixing (FWM) in a dispersion engineered chalcogenide glass waveguide. The 6 …

Amorphous chalcogenide films play a motivating role in the development of integrated
planar optical circuits due to their potential functionality in near infrared (IR) and mid-IR …

With recent developments and optimizations for quasi-phase-matched adhered ridge
waveguide (QPM-ARW), outstanding performances containing efficient amplification were …
