Abstract
We demonstrate that stimulated Raman amplification can be enhanced by more than four orders of magnitude in a silicon metasurface consisting of a periodic distribution of specially engineered photonic crystal (PhC) cavities in a silicon PhC slab waveguide. In particular, by designing the PhC cavities so as they possess two optical modes separated by the Raman frequency of silicon, one can achieve large optical field enhancement at both the pump and Stokes frequencies. As a consequence, the effective Raman susceptibility of the nonlinear metasurface, calculated using a novel homogenization technique, is significantly larger than the intrinsic Raman susceptibility of silicon. Implications to technological applications of our theoretical study are discussed, too.
