Radio frequency spectral characterization and model parameters extraction of high Q optical resonators
نویسندگان
چکیده
A microwave domain characterization approach is proposed to determine the properties of high quality factor optical resonators. This approach features a very high precision in frequency and aims to acquire a full knowledge of the complex transfer function (amplitude and phase) characterizing an optical resonator using a microwave vector network analyzer. It is able to discriminate between the different coupling regimes, from the under-coupling to the selective amplification, and it is used together with a model from which the main resonator parameters are extracted, i.e. coupling factor, intrinsic losses, phase slope, intrinsic and external quality factor.

Optical resonators metrology using an RF-spectrum approach
A Microwave domain characterization technique is proposed to measure the optical properties of high quality factor optical resonators, featuring a very high precision in frequency which can be as good as 1 Hz. It aims to acquire a full knowledge of the complex transfer function (amplitude and phase) characterizing these resonators. It is shown that the amplitude response gives access to the mea...
متن کاملExtraction of Nonlinear Thermo-Electroelastic Equations for High Frequency Vibrations of Piezoelectric Resonators with Initial Static Biases
In this paper, the general case of an anisotropic thermo-electro elastic body subjected to static biasing fields is considered. The biasing fields may be introduced by heat flux, body forces, external surface tractions, and electric fields. By introducing proper thermodynamic functions and employing variational principle for a thermo-electro elastic body, the nonlinear constitutive relations an...
متن کامل10 Characterization Techniques for Planar Optical Microresonators
Optical microresonators that are coupled to optical waveguides often behave quite similar to Fabry-Perot resonators. After summarising key properties of such resonators, three characterization methods will be discussed. The first involves the analysis of transmission and reflection spectra, from which important parameters like (waveguide) loss and coupling or reflection coefficients can be extr...
متن کاملHigh-speed electro-optic control of the optical quality factor of a silicon microcavity.
We demonstrate electro-optic ultrafast control of the optical quality factor of an on-chip silicon microcavity. The micrometer-sized cavity is formed by light confinement between two microring resonators acting as frequency selective mirrors. The ring resonators are integrated into p-i-n junctions enabling ultrafast injection and extraction of carriers. We show tuning of the cavity quality fact...

In this paper, a channel drop ring resonator filter based on two dimensional photonic crystal is proposed which is suitable for all optical communication systems. The multilayer of silicon rods in the center of resonant ring enables one to adjust resonant wavelength of the ring and enhance power coupling efficiency between ring and waveguide. Refractive index and radius of multilayer rods insid...
