Observation of Brillouin dynamic grating in a photonic chip

Opt Lett. 2013 Feb 1;38(3):305-7. doi: 10.1364/OL.38.000305.

Abstract

We report demonstration of a Brillouin dynamic grating (BDG) in a photonic chip. A BDG was characterized in a 6.5 cm long chalcogenide (As(2)S(3)) rib waveguide using CW pumps in x polarization and read using a CW probe in y polarization. The measured reflectivity, on-off ratio, and 3 dB bandwidth (f(3 dB)) for the BDG were 0.4%, ~28 dB, and ~6 GHz, respectively.
