摘要
We report an efficient wavelength conversion via four- wavemixing in reverse biased silicon- on- isolator p-i-n rib waveguides and demonstrate, for the first time, the conversion of a high- speed optical pseudo- random bit sequence data at 40 Gb/ s. Results give a wavelength conversion efficiency of - 8.6dB using a 8cm long waveguide with clear open eye on the wavelength converted signal. Conversion efficiency as functions of pump power and bias voltages has also been investigated. We show a slope efficiency close to 2 as predicted by theory. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America.
