  • 众所周知, 具有高布里渊增益的片上波导在光子学领域具有广泛的应用. 硅基片上布里渊激光器被广泛应用到频率可调谐激光发射、锁模脉冲激光器、低噪声振荡器和光学陀螺仪等领域. 然而, 在硅基布里渊激光器中实现布里渊激光输出往往需要较长的波导长度, 不利于片上集成. 本文提出了一种新型的波导结构, 由硫族化物As2S3矩形和一个空气细缝组成. 由于空气细缝的存在, 辐射压力使布里渊非线性的增强远远超过了仅由材料非线性产生的增强. 使得布里渊增益达到了1.78 × 105 W–1·m–1, 相比之前报道的后向受激布里渊散射(SBS)增益(2.88 × 104 W–1·m–1)扩大了将近10倍, 产生了4.2—7.0 GHz范围的声子频率调谐, 该方法为设计用于前向SBS的纳米级光波导提供了新的思路, 同时这种增强的宽带相干声子发射为片上CMOS信号处理技术的混合铺平了道路.

     

    As is well known, the on-chip waveguide with high Brillouin gain has many applications in the field of photonics. Brillouin lasers on silicon substrates are widely used in frequency tunable laser emission, mode-locked pulsed lasers, low-noise oscillators and optical gyroscopes. However, in a silicon-based Brillouin laser, a long waveguide length is still used to achieve Brillouin laser output, which is not conducive to on-chip integration. In this work is proposed a new type of waveguide structure consisting of chalcogenide As2S3 rectangles and an air slit. Owing to the existence of the air gap, the radiation pressure makes the enhancement of Brillouin nonlinearity much higher than the enhancement caused only by the material nonlinearity. This makes the Brillouin gain reach 1.78 × 105 W–1·m–1, which is nearly 10 times larger than the previously reported backward SBS gain of 2.88 × 104 W–1·m–1, resulting in phonon frequency tuning in a 4.2–7.0 GHz range. This method provides a new idea for designing nano-scaled optical waveguides for forward stimulated Brillouin scattering, and at the same time, this enhanced broadband coherent phonon emission paves the way for improving the hybrid on-chip CMOS signal processing technology.
