Free ultra-high-Q microtoroid: a tool for designing photonic devices.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe techniques that enable fabrication of a new class of photonic devices based on free UH-Q microresonators. Preliminary results show that free silica microtoroids with Qs above 30 million can be fabricated and transferred to different platforms for integration with a variety of photonic devices.

Ultra-high Q Microtoroid 2.1 Microtoroid Resonator Overview
The silica microtoroid is an ultra-high Q (UHQ) and ultra-small mode volume microcavity fabricated on silicon using standard microelectronics techniques. Although silica microspheres have shown higher quality factors than microtoroids (8×10 compared to 5×10), their geometry and fabrication method present practical limitations [32]. The physical dimensions of a microsphere are difficult to contr...
متن کاملFabrication of silica ultra high quality factor microresonators.
Whispering gallery resonant cavities confine light in circular orbits at their periphery. The photon storage lifetime in the cavity, quantified by the quality factor (Q) of the cavity, can be in excess of 500ns for cavities with Q factors above 100 million. As a result of their low material losses, silica microcavities have demonstrated some of the longest photon lifetimes to date. Since a port...

Ultra-high-Q optical resonators are being studied across a wide range of research subjects including quantum information, nonlinear optics, cavity optomechanics, and telecommunications 1–7. Here, we demonstrate a new, resonator on-a-chip with a record Q factor of 875 million, surpassing even microtoroids 8. Significantly, these devices avoid a highly specialized processing step that has made it...

متن کاملPassive technologies for future large-scale photonic integrated circuits on silicon: polarization handling, light non-reciprocity and loss reduction
Silicon-based large-scale photonic integrated circuits are becoming important, due to the need for higher complexity and lower cost for optical transmitters, receivers and optical buffers. In this paper, passive technologies for large-scale photonic integrated circuits are described, including polarization handling, light non-reciprocity and loss reduction. The design rule for polarization beam...
