  • Abstract
    We demonstrate ultrafast optical signal processing up to bitrates of 170 Gbit/s. Silicon-on-insulator waveguides are defined by CMOS technology. In addition, an organic cladding pro-vides either X(3) or X(2)-nonlinearities that are not impaired by two-photon absorption. With a proper waveguide design, the influence of two-photon absorption in silicon is greatly reduced.
