摘要
We report on wavelength conversion through four-wave-mixing in silicon slot-waveguides with embedded silicon nanocrystals. The combination of strong optical confinement and Si:nc nonlinearity provides a huge waveguide nonlinear coefficient gamma = 1100 W(-1)m(-1). Moreover, the improvement in the fabrication procedure allowed a loss reduction with respect to previous reported structures, enabling the achievement of an extreme value for the conversion efficiency which represents the best result ever reported in the scientific literature.
