Tailored anomalous group-velocity dispersion in silicon channel waveguides

Opt Express. 2006 May 15;14(10):4357-62. doi: 10.1364/oe.14.004357.

Abstract

We present the first experimental demonstration of anomalous group-velocity dispersion (GVD) in silicon waveguides across the telecommunication bands. We show that the GVD in such waveguides can be tuned from -2000 to 1000 ps/(nm*km) by tailoring the cross-sectional size and shape of the waveguide.
