Figure 1

The asymmetric Michelson interferometer setup for measuring the SC and its coherence, . The SC is measured with a multimode InF3 fiber butt coupled at the output (not shown). ACL, achromatic lens; AL, aspheric lens; BS, beam splitter; HWP, half wave plate; MM, movable mirror. SMF28/SM980 are single-mode fibers to measure coherence above 1.4 μm and below 1.4 μm, respectively. The cross-section of the SOI waveguide (W1) is shown with the dispersion of W1 and W2 waveguides in the inset. Unit of D is ps nm−1 km−1.
