摘要 |
Embodiments of an optical device, an array of optical devices, and a technique for fabricating the optical device or the array are described. This optical device is implemented on a substrate (such as silicon) (410), and includes a thermally tunable optical waveguide (414) with a high thermal resistance to the surrounding external environment and a low thermal resistance to a localized heater. In particular, the thermal resistances associated with thermal dissipation paths from a heater in the optical device to an external environment via electrodes (418) and via the substrate are increased, while the thermal resistance between the optical waveguide and the heater is decreased. |
