Abstract
We have fabricated 630 × 500nm nanowires from Ge 11.5As24Se64.5 chalcogenide glass by electron beam lithography (EBL) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching. The loss of the nanowire was measured to be 2.6dB/cm for the fundamental TM mode. The nonlinear coefficient (γ) was determined to be ≈136 ± 7W -1m-1 at 1550nm by both CW four-wave-mixing (FWM) and modeling. Supercontinuum (SC) was produced in an 18mm long nanowire pumped by 1ps pulses with peak power of 25W.
