Quantum Electrodynamic Modeling of Silicon-Based Active Devices

(a) Configuration for waveguide
amplification study. A Gaussian pulse
in air is incident on a pumped Si-nc waveguide. A detector in air at the end of the
waveguide measures the amplification by normalizing to the output without
pumping. (b) Configuration for amplified spontaneous emission study. Optional DBRs create a microcavity to
enhance spontaneous emission of pumped Si-ncs.
