    Light Guiding in Low Index Materials using High-Index-Contrast Waveguides

    We propose a novel high-index-contrast waveguide structure capable of light strong confinement and guiding in low-refractive-index materials. The principle of operation of this structure relies on the electric...

    Raman Gain in Silicon Using Highly Confined Waveguide Structure

    We show ultra-fast Raman gain dynamics in submicron-size silicon-on-insulator strip waveguide. Using high confinement structures and pico-second pump pulses, we show 6-dB net nonlinear gain with 20.7-W peak pu...

    Changing the colour of light in a silicon resonator

    As the demand for high bandwidths in microelectronic systems increases, optical interconnect architectures are now being considered that involve schemes commonly used in telecommunications, such as wavelength-...
