Abstract
We show experimentally that free carriers generated by two-photon-absorption in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguides can introduce large losses which limit the usable pump power for Raman amplification at telecommunication wavelengths. The measured pump loss agreed with a theoretical model of the free-carrier absorption arising from two-photon-induced free carrier generation inside the waveguide.
