We showed in 2006 that ultrabroadband parametric generation and wavelength conversion can be realized with an SOI waveguide. The use of dual-pump configuration permitted multiband operation with high efficiency over a broad spectral region extending over 300 nm. Such waveguides can also be used to generate a supercontinuum by launching femtosecond pulses and propagating them as higher-order solitons. In contrast with optical fibers, stimulated Raman scattering played a relatively minor role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-purple-color\">LiNbO<sub>3<\/sub>-Based Microring Resonators<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"312\" src=\"https:\/\/labsites.rochester.edu\/agrawal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/nsf1-slider-1024x312.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/labsites.rochester.edu\/agrawal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/nsf1-slider-1024x312.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/labsites.rochester.edu\/agrawal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/nsf1-slider-300x91.jpg 300w, https:\/\/labsites.rochester.edu\/agrawal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/nsf1-slider-768x234.jpg 768w, https:\/\/labsites.rochester.edu\/agrawal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/nsf1-slider.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption>A micro-ring resonator made using a LiNbO<sub>3<\/sub> ring waveguide surrounded with two circular electrodes.
