Abstrakt: Design of efficient nonlinear optical waveguides is an essential requirement for development of silicon nanophotonics. These waveguides should have a unique capability to play the main role in realization of both passive and active optical devices. A high-performance dielectric rib-like-based slot waveguide is proposed for nonlinear silicon nanophotonics. Its slot region can be filled with Si-nc:SiO2which exhibits a high third-order nonlinear effect. Study of numerical results shows that this new slot waveguide has a nonlinear parameter of the same order of magnitude as an equally sized silicon nanophotonics strip-based slot waveguide. The new waveguide can be fabricated easily by etching a slot in the core region of the silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-based rib-like waveguide. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
