Data Conversion Efficiency: Nanoscale C‐Rich SixC1−x Bus/Ring Waveguide Based Cross‐Wavelength Data Converter (Ann. Phys. 2/2019). Issue 2 (12th February 2019) - Syu, Shih‐Chang
Abstract : In article number1800414, Shih‐Chang Syu and Gong‐Ru Lin demonstrate a micro‐ring waveguide‐based data processor for all‐optical cross‐wavelength conversion up to 12 Gbit/s. By using carbon‐rich silicon carbide (C‐rich SiC) as core material and designing the core aspect with the smallest asymmetry to enhance the nonlinear Kerr switching, the cross‐wavelength conversion efficiency can be improved to favor the on‐chip all‐optical data processing for future interconnect photonic integrated circuits.
