Influence of two-photon absorption and free-carrier effects on all-optical logic gates in silicon waveguides

Abstract: We investigate the impact of two-photon absorption (TPA) and free-carrier effects on all-optical logic gates in silicon waveguides, in which the conversion efficiency is greatly reduced and the waveform is seriously distorted. A silicon–organic hybrid dual-slot waveguide without TPA is proposed for all-optical logic gates and could offer an extremely large nonlinear parameter higher than 1.4 × 107 W−1 km−1. The all-optical logic AND, OR, and XOR gates based on four-wave mixing in this waveguide are realized fo… Show more

“…Two 5 Gb/s OOK signals are used in the experiment as a proof of concept, resulting in an aggregate bit rate of 10 Gb/s. In 2019, Wu et al numerically studied the impact of TPA and free-carrier effects on all-optical logic gates in Si waveguides [213]. The conversion efficiency was found to be greatly reduced and the waveform was seriously distorted.…”
