Mid-infrared generation by frequency down-conversion across 1.2 octaves in a normally-dispersive silicon wire

Using four-wave mixing in normally-dispersive mid-infrared silicon nanophotonic waveguides, we demonstrate the conversion of light across more than 1.2 octaves, from the telecom band to a wavelength of 3630 nm.
