Abstract

We have experimentally demonstrated broadband tuneable four-wave mixing in AlGaAs nanowires with the widths ranging between 400 and 650 nm and lengths from 0 to 2 mm. We performed a detailed experimental study of the parameters influencing the FWM performance in these devices (experimental conditions and nanowire dimensions). The maximum signal-to-idler conversion range was 100 nm, limited by the tuning range of the pump source. The maximum conversion efficiency, defined as the ratio of the output idler power to the output signal power, was −38 dB. In support of our explanation of the experimentally observed trends, we present modal analysis and group velocity dispersion numerical analysis. This study is what we believe to be a step forward towards realization of all-optical signal processing devices.
