Title

Toward Soliton Emission In Asymmetric Gaas/Algaas Multiple-Quantum-Well Waveguide Structures Below The Half-Bandgap

Abstract

We report what is to our knowledge the first experimental evidence of nonlinear beam displacement in a strip-loaded GaAs/AlGaAs multiple-quantum-well waveguide with an asymmetric, nonlinear cladding. An intensity-dependent spatial displacement of ∼2 μm was observed for the guided mode at a wavelength of 1.55 μm. Numerical simulations that correspond to the experiment are also presented. The device has the potential of providing a soliton-emission-based, ultrafast all-optical switch. © 2000 Optical Society of America.
