Midinfrared supercontinuum generation from 2 to 6 μm in a silicon nanowire

Silicon has attracted great interest as a platform for both linear and nonlinear integrated photonics for over 15 years. While its primary applications have been in the telecom window (near 1.5 mu-m), the capability of exploiting its full transparency window to 8 mu-m in the mid-IR is highly attract... View More
