Efficient Wavelength Conversion in Silicon Microring CROWs (Project Report 1201308-Y2)
Keyword(s):
The main goal of this NSF-funded project [1201308 - Year 2] is to develop an integrated photonics device technology based on silicon photonics which can be used for compact and efficient nonlinear classical and quantum photonics applications. “Mixers” in the title reflects the use of nonlinear wave mixing, such as through four-wave mixing, which is the foundational optical process for wide-span wavelength conversion and entangled photon-pair generation in silicon photonics.
