    We achieved controlled wavelength conversion on a silicon chip using four-wave mixing Bragg scattering (FWM-BS). This method shows potential for high-speed optical switching with minimal signal-to-noise ratio penalty.

    Area of Science:

    • Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Optical Engineering

    Background:

    • Silicon photonics enables integrated optical circuits.
    • Four-wave mixing (FWM) is a key nonlinear optical process for wavelength conversion.
    • Controlling FWM in silicon is challenging due to material nonlinearities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate controlled wavelength conversion on a silicon chip.
    • To investigate the efficiency and noise performance of FWM-BS.
    • To explore the potential for all-optical switching applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized four-wave mixing Bragg scattering (FWM-BS) on a silicon chip.
    • Employed controlled pump powers and analyzed pump asymmetry.
    • Conducted time and spectral domain noise measurements.
