摘要：

An 80 MHz pulse train of similar to 100 fs optical pulses centred at similar to 1.5 mum is propagated through a variety of high-index-contrast silicon-on-insulator waveguide structures less than 1 mm long. All-optical power limiting and negative differential transmission, based only on the intrinsic nonlinear response of the untextured waveguides near 1.5 mum, are demonstrated for average in-guide power levels of similar to 1 mW. Superlinear transmission is observed in a textured silicon waveguide for power levels less than 20 muW. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.
