Abstract:	Self Phase Modulation (SPM) and Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) in silicon waveguides have been observed and will be discussed theoretically using a modified Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation. The high optical peak powers needed for the experiments were obtained by coupling sub-picosecond (200fs) transform limited pulses with a spectral width of 12nm into a single mode silicon waveguide. Spectral broadening up to 50nm has been observed due to Self Phase Modulation. An intensity increase of the idler spectrum around 1650nm at the expense of the 1550nm pump signal has been observed as function of pump power, indicating the presence of Stimulated Raman Scattering.
