All-optical wavelength conversion in silicon wire waveguides

We describe the use of two-photon absorption process in submicron silicon wire waveguides for all-optical wavelength conversion by cross-absorption modulation scheme. Optical pulses of 1.6 ps at 1 GHz repetition rate have been successfully converted from 1550 nm to 1544 nm. (2 pages)
