The waveguides are fabricated by a combination of MeV copper ion implantation followed by wet etching in a proton exchanged lithium niobate planar waveguide. Using a mode-locked Ti：sapphire laser with a central wavelength of 800nm, the generated broadest supereontinuum through the ridge waveguides spans 302 nm （at -30 dB points）, from 693 to 995 nm. Temporal coherence proper- ties of the supercontinuum are experimentally studied by a Michelson interferometer and the coherence length of the broadest supercontinuum is measured to be 5.2 μm. Our results offer potential for a compact and integrated supercontinuum source for applications including bio-imaging, spectroscopy and optical communication.展开更多

Chirped pulse self-phase modulation measurements were carried out to determine the optica Kerr nonlinearity of the structure. The observed increase in the spectral broadening of the optical pulses in the MoS2–silicon waveguide compared with the silicon waveguides indicated that the third-order nonlinear effect in MoS2 is about 2 orders of magnitude larger than that in silicon. The measurements show that MoS2 has an effective optical Kerr coefficient of about 1.1 × 10-16m2∕W. This work reveals the potential application of MoS2 to enhance the nonlinearity of hybrid silicon optical devices.展开更多
