摘要:

最近已经表明,硅纳米光子波导可以用于在单个芯片上构造光子数据传输系统的所有组件。这些组件可以与CMOS电子器件集成在一起,以创建复杂的电子-光子集成电路。硅纳米尺度导向的高场限制也使令人兴奋的新应用成为可能,从芯片级非线性光学到生物传感器和光力激活设备。迄今为止,硅波导的大多数实验都是在近红外波长范围内进行的,范围从1.1-2微米。在这里,我们表明,单模硅纳米波导可用于中红外波长,特别是在4.5微米,或2222.2 1/cm。这个想法已经出现在理论文献中,但实验实现一直难以捉摸。这一结果代表了第一个实用的硅中红外集成波导系统,并实现了一系列新的应用。

英文摘要:

It has recently been shown that silicon nanophotonic waveguides can be used to construct all of the components of a photonic data transmission system on a single chip. These components can be integrated together with CMOS electronics to create complex electronic-photonic integrated circuits. It has also emerged that the high field confinement of silicon nanoscale guides enables exciting new applications, from chipscale nonlinear optics to biosensors and light-force activated devices. To date, most of the experiments in silicon waveguides have been at wavelengths in the near-infrared, ranging from 1.1-2 microns. Here we show that single-mode silicon nano-waveguides can be used at mid-infrared wavelengths, in particular at 4.5 microns, or 2222.2 1/cm. This idea has appeared in theoretical literature, but experimental realization has been elusive. This result represents the first practical integrated waveguide system for the mid-infrared in silicon, and enables a range of new applications.
