  • Abstract
    The optical nonlinearities of amorphous silicon rich nitride corresponding to χ(3) in a static electric field have been measured by tracking wavelength shifts in the resonances of optical waveguide ring resonators as a function of an applied electrical field. The magnitude of the nonlinearity measured agrees well with expected values.
