Four-Wave Mixing Wavelength conversion technique : modulation format transparency. A strong pump at ω0 and a weaker signal at ω1 = ω0 – Ω are injected at the input of the nonlinear medium. A new optical field is generated at ω2 = ω0 + Ω through the third-order polarization term : 𝑃 𝑡 ∝ 𝜒 1 𝐸 𝑡 + 𝜒 2 𝐸2 𝑡 + 𝜒 3 𝐸3 𝑡 +… Ω NL Medium Pump Signal Idler ω1 ω2 ω0

FWM in Silicon Nanowires The high index contrast of SOI waveguides allows for a tight confinement inside the waveguide. SOI waveguides exhibit larger third-order nonlinearity than that of an optical fiber. The dispersion of the SOI waveguides is mostly governed by its shape and dimensions : dispersion can be engineered to get a large conversion bandwidth.

Design Challenges Conversion efficiency (CE) FWM conversion bandwidth → CE = Idler output / Signal input → Must be as high as possible over a wide wavelength conversion range → The efficiency is tightly related to the effective mode area of the waveguide. FWM conversion bandwidth → Phase-matching condition : dispersion engineering → Single mode or multimode waveguide? Polarization diversity ?

Single mode operation in a multimode waveguide? Waveguide Dispersion Phase-Mismatch Condition Input Powers Conversion Efficiency Conversion Bandwidth linear phase-mismatch non-linear phase-mismatch The conversion efficiency and bandwidth are dominated by the phase-mismatched condition, which is determined by the dispersion of the SOI waveguide and the input pump powers.
