Abstract

We numerically demonstrate the use of waveguide dispersion to shift the zero-dispersion wavelength of an As2S3 waveguide to telecom wavelengths. The device implications for parametric gain and wavelength-conversion via four-wave mixing are investigated, giving an operating bandwidth of 550 nm. We also show that the photosensitivity of chalcogenide can be used for post-fabrication tuning of waveguide dispersion characteristics.

Fig. 3. Device performance of the 10 cm long dispersion engineered As2S3 waveguide with a pump intensity of 0.6 GW/cm2. (a) Signal amplification and (b) wavelength conversion efficiency is shown as a function of signal wavelength when the pump wavelengths (dashed lines) are the ZDWL (1556 nm, blue), in the anomalous dispersion regime (1576 nm, β2=+0.020 ps2/m, green), and in the normal dispersion regime (1536 nm, β2=-0.020 ps2/m, red).
