Abstract

A 1000 nm wide supercontinuum, spanning from 1470 nm in the telecom band to 2470 nm in the mid-infrared is demonstrated in a 800 nm x 220 nm 1 cm long hydrogenated amorphous silicon strip waveguide. The pump source was a picosecond Thulium doped fiber laser centered at 1950 nm. The real part of the nonlinear parameter of this waveguide at 1950 nm is measured to be 100 ± 10 W⁻¹m⁻¹, while the imaginary part of the nonlinear parameter is measured to be 1.2 ± 0.2 W⁻¹m⁻¹. The supercontinuum is stable over a period of at least several hours, as the hydrogenated amorphous silicon waveguides do not degrade when exposed to the high power picosecond pulse train.

Fig. 1 The build-up of the supercontinuum with increasing power. MI1 bands appear at 7.6 W peak power, MI2 at 9.5 W and at 11.1 W the bands merge to form the supercontinuum which then grows as power is increased to 12.6 W and 14.7 W and it finally saturates when the spectral width is about 1000 nm at 46 W. Successive plots are shifted by 20dB for clarity. The inset shows the SEM cross-section of the waveguide used in the experiment.

Fig. 5 Supercontinuum generation in crystalline silicon waveguides. The positions of the modulation instability bands of a crystalline silicon waveguide with the same dimensions as the one used for the supercontinuum generation in a-Si:H show that the dispersion of this waveguide is similar. Clearly, a-Si:H is a better material system for supercontinuum generation at this wavelength. Successive plots are shifted by 20dB for clarity.
