A multi-layer platform for low-loss nonlinear silicon photonics

We demonstrate four-wave mixing (FWM) interactions in a-Si:H waveguides in a multilayer integrated silicon photonic chip. The a-Si:H waveguides are accessed through interlayer couplers from waveguides composed of SiNx. The interlayer couplers achieve a coupling of 0.51 dB loss per transition at the...
