Third-order nonlinear effects in silicon photonics are traditionally spoiled by free carrier effects. Optimization of the geometry of silicon slotted waveguides has been performed on the basis of the FOMTPA of the guided mode and has revealed the importance of properly choosing the waveguide width of the silicon rails in order to minimize TPA.
