Optical technology is poised to revolutionize short-reach interconnects. The leading
candidate technology is silicon photonics, and the workhorse of such an interconnect is the …

Silicon photonics meets the electronics requirement of increased speed and bandwidth with
on-chip optical networks. All-optical data management requires nonlinear silicon photonics …

We demonstrate for the first time a fully integrated electro-optic modulator based on locally
strained silicon rib-waveguides. By depositing a Si_3N_4 strain layer directly on top of the …

Strained silicon waveguides have been proposed to break the silicon centrosymmetry,
which inhibits second-order nonlinearities. Even if electro-optic effect and second harmonic …

We measure the voltage-dependent phase shift in silicon waveguides strained by a silicon
nitride layer and show that, in our measurements, the phase shift is due to free carrier …

We present detailed investigations of the local strain distribution and the induced second-
order optical nonlinearity within strained silicon waveguides cladded with a Si_3N_4 strain …

The development of efficient low-loss electro-optic and nonlinear components based on
silicon or its related compounds, such as nitrides and oxides, is expected to dramatically …

We propose a theoretical model to describe the strain-induced linear electro-optic (Pockels)
effect in centro-symmetric crystals. The general formulation is presented and the specific …

Electro-optic modulation is achieved in devices consisting of single-crystalline thin films of N-
benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline grown from the melt in the slots of phase modulators based …

In this paper we present a detailed theoretical investigation of second harmonic generation
in strained germanium waveguides operating at the mid infrared pump wavelength of 4 μm …
