| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, the interferometric autocorrelation was achieved by utilizing the silicon p-i-n waveguide as the two-photon absorption optical pulse detector and correct pulse characterization was successfully demonstrated for 1-ps optical pulses. We also achieved a very high sensitivity which is almost same as that of conventional autocorrelators using nonlinear optical crystals and photomultiplier, nearly 100 times higher than that of traditional two-photon absorption type detectors. Moreover, we developed an autocorrelation simulator with nonlinear effects included, based on which the experimental results such as the pulse power dependent photocurrent and measurement accuracy were reasonably explained. Finally, we fabricated the monolithically integrated autocorrelator and confirmed its operation for sub-ps pulses. This work promises innovations of unprecedented compactness and low cost for autocorrelator products and is also expected to be applied to on-chip pulse characterization.
