Graphene-Assisted Integrated Nonlinear Optics
(University of Waterloo, 2018-03-09)The unique linear and massless band structure of graphene in a purely two-dimensional Dirac fermionic structure has ignited intense research since the first monolayer graphene was isolated in the laboratory. Not only ... -
Silicon Nanowires for Integrated Photonics: Bridging Nano and Micro Photonics
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)Silicon Nanowires (SiNWs) with ability to confine carriers and photons in two directions while allowing propagation in third dimension offer interesting modified optical properties such as increased material absorption and ... -
Two-Color Ultrafast Yb:Fiber Chirped Pulse Amplifier for Mid-Infrared Generation and Sensitive Mid-Infrared Detector Based on Extreme Non-Degenerate Two Photon Absorption in GaAs
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-12)This thesis outlines the development and optimization of a two-color three-stage ultrafast Yb:fiber chirped pulse amplifier for the generation of mid-infrared (MIR) radiation and a novel sensitive mid-infrared detector by ...
