Advantageous applications are identified, and corresponding proof-of-principle experiments are performed. Highly nonlinear silicon-organic hybrid waveguides show potential for all-optical signal processing based on fourwave mixing and cross-phase modulation. Quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers operate as linear amplifiers with a very large dynamic range.Technology: general issuesbicsscNonlinear opticsQuantum dotsSilicon photonicsUltrafast spetroscopyWavelength conversionTechnology: general issuesVallaitis Thomasauth1283213BOOK9910346900903321Ultrafast nonlinear silicon waveguides and quantum dot semiconductor optical amplifiers3018980UNINA
