In this paper, an investigation of silicon nanocrystals-based sandwiched slot waveguides which are dispersion engineered for exciting optical solitons inside very short structures (only 3 mm long) is proposed. The possibility of using these structures for efficient surface sensing devices has been explored for the first time in cases of either air or water solution cover.

Abstract
In this paper, an investigation of silicon nanocrystals-based sandwiched slot waveguides which are dispersion engineered for exciting optical solitons inside very short structures (only 3 mm long) is proposed. The possibility of using these structures for efficient surface sensing devices has been explored for the first time in cases of either air or water solution cover.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
