A proof-of-concept for a new and entirely CMOS compatible thermo-optic reconfigurable switch based on a coupled ring resonator structure is experimentally demonstrated in this paper. Preliminary results show that a single optical device is capable of combining several functionalities, such as tunable filtering, non-blocking switching and reconfigurability, in a single device with compact footprint (~50 μm x 30 μm).
本文通过实验展示了一种基于耦合环形谐振器结构的全新且完全与CMOS兼容的热光可重构开关的概念验证。初步结果表明,单个光学器件能够在一个占地面积紧凑(约50μm×30μm)的单一器件中集成多种功能,如可调谐滤波、无阻塞切换和可重构性。
