Nonlinear Optics in Doped Silica Glass Integrated Waveguide Structures (2008, methodology): “Various methods exist to achieve phase matching, including using birefringence and waveguide tailoring (Dimitripoulos et al., 2004; Foster et al., 2006; Lamont et al., 2008), but perhaps the simplest way is to work in a region of low dispersion.”
Signal regeneration using low-power four-wave mixing on silicon chip (2008, background): “In silicon, the lowest-order optical nonlinearity is the third-order contribution, and the measured value for the nonlinear refractive index n 2 at 1,550 nm is approximately 200 times that of silica glas”
