Abstract :
An analytic equation has been proposed to realize propagation characteristics for different geometrical patterns of silicon nanowire using full vector FEM. Analysis of mode dependent nonlinear loss has revealed that attenuation of signal power is less for higher order modes than for the fundamental modes excited in the nanowire.
