Tunable polymer/silicon over insulator ring resonators
Abstract
A tunable ring resonator (RR) formed from Si∕SiO2 waveguides with an electro-optic polymer cladding is proposed with emphasis on the trade-off between the tuning voltage and ring radius. The ring resonator circuit combines the advantages of Si∕SiO2 and polymer technologies. The advantages of this hybrid ring design over previously proposed tunable silicon rings include an increased switching speed, from 5GHzto20to100GHz, single-polarity instead …
