Dispersion tailoring of a silicon strip waveguide employing Titania-Alumina thin-film coating

We numerically demonstrate dispersion tailoring of a silicon strip waveguide employing Titania-Alumina thin-film coating using a finite-difference mode solver. The proposed structure exhibits spectrally-flattened near-zero anomalous dispersion within the telecom wavelength range. We also numerically predict the wavelength conversion efficiency for degenerate four-wave mixing, and obtain a 3 dB bandwidth of 80 nm.
