Adiabatic resonant microrings (ARMs) with directly integrated thermal microphotonics

Watts, Michael W.; Zortman, William A.; Trotter, Douglas C.; Nielson, Gregory N.; Luck, David L.; Young, Ralph W.

A new class of microphotonic-resonators, Adiabatic Resonant Microrings (ARMs), is introduced. The ARM resonator geometry enables heater elements to be formed within the resonator, simultaneously enabling record low-power (4.4μW/GHz) and record high-speed (1μs) thermal tuning. ©2009 Optical Society of America.
