MICRO-RING RESONATOR

摘要

A micro-ring resonator (200) includes a bus optical waveguide (210) and a circular optical waveguide (206) positioned adjacent to the bus optical waveguide (210) so as to provide evanescent coupling of light between the waveguides (206, 210). The cladding of the circular optical waveguide (206) comprises an electro-optic polymer (302) with an index of refraction that can be changed through application of an electric field (312).
