Abstract

We propose, for the first time to our knowledge, the theoretical investigation of optical soliton excitation inside very short silicon nanocrystal based sandwiched slot waveguides, only 1.6 mm long. Several parametric simulations have been carried out by means of finite element method in order to select the best waveguide cross section for anomalous-dispersion regime around 1550 nm.
