Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate the wavelength conversion based on free carrier dispersion effect induced by non-linear absorption in a silicon micro-ring resonator. The pump and signal wavelengths are set by the split resonances spaced by 0.4 nm induced by deformation in the coupling region. The results of 500 Mbps and 1Gbps are presented.
