GaInP on oxide nonlinear photonic crystal technology

Abstract

Heat dissipation is improved in nonlinear III-V photonic crystal waveguides owing to the hybrid III-V/Silicon integration platform, allowing efficient four-wave mixing in the continuous-wave regime. A conversion efficiency of -17.6 dB is demonstrated with a pump power level below 100 mW in a dispersion-engineered waveguide with a flat group index of 28 over a 10 nm bandwidth.
