Four-wave mixing Bragg scattering in hydrogenated amorphous silicon waveguides.

We demonstrate 15% on-chip conversion efficiency of four-wave mixing Bragg scattering in a hydrogenated amorphous silicon waveguide with only 55 and 194 mW peak pump powers in the waveguide. The lightwaves can be maintained in the telecommunication band, and the operational bandwidth is measured to be larger than 4 nm.
