Abstract
A degenerate four-wave-mixing (FWM) operation in the submicrometer channel waveguide has been successfully demonstrated. The propagation loss of and total insertion loss of 5.1 dB are realized in a 12.6 mm long waveguide with inverse taper structure. The wavelength and quadratic pumping power-dependent measurements on optical transmission confirm FWM performance and characterize the nonlinearity of waveguide. The conversion efficiency of at coupled pump power of 40 mW is observed, suggesting that the nonlinear refractive index of waveguide at 1550 nm is estimated to be . Our primary results indicate that the submicrometer channel waveguide has great potential in developing nonlinear waveguide applications.
