Enhancement of Optical Nonlinearity in Coupled Resonator Optical Waveguide Based on Slotted 1-D Photonic Crystal Cavity
A coupled resonator optical waveguide (CROW) based on a slotted 1-D photonic crystal (1-D PC) cavity is proposed, and its enhancement of the optical nonlinearity due to the slow-light effect of the CROW and the small effective area of the slotted 1-D PC cavities is demonstrated. Setting the appropri...

| Summary: | A coupled resonator optical waveguide (CROW) based on a slotted 1-D photonic crystal (1-D PC) cavity is proposed, and its enhancement of the optical nonlinearity due to the slow-light effect of the CROW and the small effective area of the slotted 1-D PC cavities is demonstrated. Setting the appropriate slot configuration in terms of the tradeoff between the nonlinear parameter and the leakage loss, a large nonlinear parameter exceeding <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$10^4\ \text{m}^{-1}\text{W}^{-1}$</tex-math></inline-formula> can be obtained. |
