Nonlinear Temperature-Dependent Transfer Characteristics of Silicon Photonic Microring Resonators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the nonlinear power transfer characteristics of a silicon photonic microring resonator. We show that the microring device behaves as a power limiter if the roll-off tail of its resonance is steeper than a simple Lorentzian lineshape. OCIS codes: (230.4110) Modulators; (230.4555) Coupled Resonators; (200.4650) Optical Interconnects.

Enhanced linear and nonlinear optical phase response of AlGaAs microring resonators.
We have constructed and characterized several optical microring resonators with scale sizes of the order of 10 microm. These devices are intended to serve as building blocks for engineerable linear and nonlinear photonic media. Light is guided vertically by an epitaxially grown structure and transversely by deeply etched air-clad sidewalls. We report on the spectral phase transfer characteristi...

We propose a new class of resonant silicon optical devices, consisting of a ring resonator coupled to a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, which is passively temperature compensated by tailoring the optical mode confinement in the waveguides. We demonstrate operation of the device over a wide temperature range of 80 degrees. The fundamental principle behind this work can be extended to other photonic...
