We explore the possibility of exciting the so-called quartic solitons in specially designed slot
waveguides based on silicon and silica or silicon nanocrystals. This requires the excitation …

We observe, for the first time to our knowledge, the formation of optical solitons inside a short
silicon waveguide (only 5 mm long) at subpicojoule pulse energy levels. We measure a …

Solitons are wave packets that can propagate without changing shape by balancing
nonlinear effects with the effects of dispersion. In photonics, they have underpinned …

We show through numerical simulations that silicon waveguides can be used to create a
supercontinuum extending over 400 nm by launching femtosecond pulses as higher-order …

We analyze the dynamics of dissipative solitons in silicon on insulator waveguides
embedded in a gain medium. The optical propagation is modeled through a cubic Ginzburg …

We report on the first experimental observation of an optical analogue of an event horizon in
integrated nanophotonic waveguides, through the reflection of a continuous wave on an …

We propose, for the first time to our knowledge, the theoretical investigation of silicon
nanocrystals‐based sandwiched slot waveguides which are dispersion‐engineered for …

Focus Serial: Frontiers of Nonlinear Optics Several kinds of nonlinear optical effects have
been observed in recent years using silicon waveguides, and their device applications are …

We report time domain measurements of the group-velocity-dispersion-induced and
nonlinearity-induced chirping of femtosecond pulses in subwavelength silicon-on-insulator …

Solitons are nonlinear waves present in diverse physical systems including plasmas, water
surfaces and optics. In silicon, the presence of two photon absorption and accompanying …
