Broadband Nonlinear Manipulation Of Ultrafast Optical Pulses By Dispersion Engineering
OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES AND INTEGRATION IX(2020)
摘要
The formation and manipulation of ultrashort pulses on chip would be of great interest to ultrafast optics and integrated photonics. One of the important issues is dispersion-assisted nonlinear interactions of broadband frequency components. In this paper, we show for the first time that a bilayer waveguide for quasi-TE mode produces a quite flat and saddle-shaped dispersion profile. Different from previously reported TE-mode waveguides with flattened dispersion, the proposed waveguide exhibits a greatly simplified structure with no need for a high-aspect-ratio slot and has quite small group delay difference in a wide spectral range with four zero-dispersion wavelengths (ZDWs). For the first time we study supercontinuum generation in hybrid dispersion regime, in which the broadened spectrum covers a bandwidth with all ZDWs. It is found that one can obtain greatly improved spectral flatness in supercontinuum generation, with a power variation as small as 3 dB over a bandwidth of >500 nm. Moreover, the proposed waveguides are particularly suitable for low-distortion pulse propagation over a long distance, which is important for on-chip ultrashort pulse delivery.
