Solitons and spectral broadening in long silicon-on- insulator photonic wires

Opt Express. 2008 Mar 3;16(5):3310-9. doi: 10.1364/oe.16.003310.

Abstract

We report measurements and numerical modeling of spectral broadening and soliton propagation regimes in silicon-on-insulator photonic wire waveguides of 3 to 4 dispersion lengths using 100fs pump pulses. We also present accurate measurements of the group index and dispersion of the photonic wire.
