Abstract :
High nonlinearity, low or negligible two-photon absorption, and CMOS-compatibility make hydrogenated amorphous silicon an attractive platform for integrated nonlinear optical signal processing devices. Recent nonlinear optical demonstrations are discussed as well as material property investigations.
