Large tunable delays using parametric mixing and phase conjugation in Si nanowaveguides

Large tunable delays using parametric mixing and phase conjugation in Si nanowaveguides

We demonstrate a technique for generating large, all-optical delays while simultaneously minimizing pulse distortion by using temporal phase conjugation via four-wave mixing in Si nanowaveguides. Using this scheme, we achieve continuously tunable delays over a range of 243 ns for 10 Gb/s NRZ data.
