Summary: Theoretical study on the Kerr nonlinear optical performance of silicon nanowire waveguides integrated with 2D layered graphene oxide films reveals significant enhancement of Kerr nonlinearity. Optimization of waveguide geometry and GO film thickness can increase the effective nonlinear parameter and FOM. By evaluating the spectral broadening induced by self-phase modulation, the trade-off between enhancing Kerr nonlinearity and minimizing loss is examined.

Summary: In this paper, two strategies for achieving wideband light generation through intermodal nonlinear parametric processes in multimode integrated waveguides are discussed. It is outlined how the interplay among intermodal interactions and high dispersion may lead to the generation of light with substantial power spectral density, with a long-term vision of generating widely tunable radiation with high-power spectral density in a broad portion of the transparency window of silicon.
