on-off conversion efficiency and over 830 nm of shift. The ability to generate and
convert wavelengths over such a large range of tuning ability increases silicon
photonics' functionality by adding new functions including on-chip spectroscopy,
high data rate on-chip signal processing, on-chip ultrafast pulse measurements,
and high speed telecommunications.
