Abstract

Nonlinear optical signal processing by ultrafast Raman pulses in silicon-on-insulator rib waveguides is theoretically investigated in this paper. Stimulated Raman scattering, two-photon absorption, free carrier dispersion, self- and cross-phase-modulation-induced by Kerr effect, walk-off, group velocity dispersion, pump depletion, self-steeping, and polarization coupling are taken into account by a very general modeling under subpicosecond regime. Raman amplification, multiwavelength conversion, soliton formation, and pulse compression are presented and discussed. Finally, some simulations for generation of higher order Stokes pulses in mid-IR region are given.
