摘要 |
<p>The present disclosure concerns a photonic integrated circuit (10) and a method for interrogating a ring resonator (3) comprised therein. The circuit (10) comprises an optical port (4) for coupling light (L) into and out of the circuit (10). The circuit (10) further comprises a first waveguide (1) for receiving light (L1) from the optical port (4), and a second waveguide (2) for sending back light to the optical port (4). The ring resonator (3) is arranged between the first waveguide (1) and the second waveguide (2) for coupling a resonant wavelength (») of the light therein between. The optical port (4) comprises a polarization splitting coupler for coupling light of a first polarization (P1) to and from the first waveguide (1) and coupling light of a second polarization (P2), orthogonal to the first polarization (P1), to and from the second waveguide (2).</p> |
