The year 2009 marks the tenth anniversary of the first report of white-light supercontinuum
generation in photonic crystal fibre. This result had a tremendous impact on the field of …

Silicon photonics is a technology based on fabricating integrated optical circuits by using the
same paradigms as the dominant electronics industry. After twenty years of fervid …

The nonlinear optics of Si photonic wires is discussed. The distinctive features of these
waveguides are that they have extremely large third-order susceptibility χ^(3) and dispersive …

We report nonlinear measurements on 80µm silicon photonic crystal waveguides that are
designed to support dispersionless slow light with group velocities between c/20 and c/50 …

Solitons are nonlinear waves that exhibit invariant or recurrent behaviour as they propagate.
Precise control of dispersion and nonlinear effects governs soliton propagation and, through …

We present a summary of our recent experiments showing how various nonlinear
phenomena are enhanced due to slow light in silicon photonic crystal waveguides. These …

Since the recent demonstration of chip-scale, silicon-based, photonic devices, silicon
photonics provides a viable and promising platform for modern nonlinear optics. The …

In this paper, we investigate both analytically and numerically four-wave mixing (FWM) in
short (80 μm) dispersion engineered slow light photonic crystal waveguides. We …

We investigate the nonlinear response of photonic crystal waveguides with suppressed two-
photon absorption. A moderate decrease of the group velocity (∼ c/6 to c/15, a factor of 2.5) …

Supercontinuum generation (SCG) through soliton fission provides high‐brightness,
spectrally‐rich light needed for hyperspectral imaging, broadband spectroscopy, and …
