  • Abstract
    Self-phase modulation induced spectral broadening has been observed for ultrashort pulses propagating through Ta2O5 rib waveguide. The associated nonlinear refractive index was conservatively estimated to be 7.23 × 10-19 m2/W, which is higher by one order of magnitude than silica glass.
