Net optical parametric gain in a submicron silicon core fiber pumped in the telecom band
Wu, Dong; Shen, Li; Ren, Haonan; Campling, Joseph; Hawkins, Thomas; Ballato, John; Gibson, Ursula; Peacock, Anna (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)A silicon core fiber (SCF) has been designed and fabricated with a dispersion engineered profile to support broadband optical parametric amplification across the telecom window. The combination of low optical transmission ... -
Nonlinear optical properties of polycrystalline silicon core fibers from telecom wavelengths into the mid-infrared spectral region
Ren, Haonan; Shen, Li; Wu, D; Aktas, Ozan; Hawkins, Thomas A.; Ballato, John; Gibson, Ursula; Peacock, Anna (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Polycrystalline silicon core fibers (SCFs) fabricated via the molten core drawing (MCD) method are emerging as a flexible optoelectronic platform. Here, the optical transmission properties of MCD SCFs that have been tapered ... -
Semiconductor core fibres: materials science in a bottle
Gibson, Ursula; Wei, Lei; Ballato, John (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Novel core fibers have a wide range of applications in optics, as sources, detectors and nonlinear response media. Optoelectronic, and even electronic device applications are now possible, due to the introduction of methods ... -

Silicon-core glass fibres as microwire radial-junction solar cells
Martinsen, Fredrik A; Smeltzer, Benjamin; Nord, Magnus Kristofer; Hawkins, Thomas A.; Ballato, John; Gibson, Ursula (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Vertically aligned radial-junction solar cell designs offer potential improvements over planar geometries, as carrier generation occurs close to the junction for all absorption depths, but most production methods still ... -
Single crystal semiconductor-core optical fiber*
Wu, Wei; Song, Seunghan; Balci, Mustafa H.; Laurell, Fredrik; Cantwell, Patrick; Ballato, John; Gibson, Ursula (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Semiconductor-core fibers are improved by removal of grain boundaries. We use a CO2 laser to process silicon-based cores; an alloying element reduces both the temperature and speed required for formation of a single crystal. -
Tapered silicon core fibers with nano-spikes for optical coupling via spliced silica fibers
Ren, Haonan; Aktas, Ozan; Franz, Yohann; Runge, Antoine; Hawkins, Thomas A.; Ballato, John; Gibson, Ursula; Peacock, Anna (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Abstract: Reported here is the fabrication of tapered silicon core fibers possessing a nanospike input that facilitates their seamless splicing to conventional single mode fibers. A proofof-concept 30 µm cladding diameter ... -
