Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate the enhanced four-wave mixing (FWM) by harnessing the forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (FSBS) within a silicon-based cascaded racetrack microring resonator (MRR). The frequency spacing of the split resonant peaks is precisely designed to match the Brillouin frequency shift (BFS). The cooperative interaction of the FSBS resonance and cascaded MRR resonance achieves an FWM enhancement of 2.97 and 2.43 dB for anti-Stokes and Stokes sidebands under the launched pump power of 35.48 mW and probe power of 17.78 mW. The BFS from 3.34 to 7.13 GHz is demonstrated by changing the waveguide width. Moreover, we show that this same system behaves as a single-sideband modulator, providing more than the 17 dB single-sideband rejection ratio under the condition that the probe light and Stokes are resonant in the cascaded MRR. Building on these results, this device opens the door to new types of all-silicon Brillouin laser, amplifier, isolator, and single-sideband modulator.
