چکیده

We demonstrate a method for adiabatically self-tuning a silicon microdisk resonator. This mechanism is not only able to sensitively probe the fast nonlinear cavity dynamics, but also provides various optical functionalities like pulse compression, shaping, and tunable time delay.

Self-induced optical modulation of the transmission through a high-Q silicon microdisk resonator.

Direct time-domain observations are reported of a low-power, self-induced modulation of the transmitted optical power through a high-Q silicon microdisk resonator. Above a threshold input power of 60 microW the transmission versus wavelength deviates from a simple optical bistability behavior, and the transmission intensity becomes highly oscillatory in nature. The transmission oscillations are...

Wavelength- and Bandwidth-Tunable Filters Based on MEMS-actuated Microdisk Resonators λ1 Input Port Through Port

A wavelengthand bandwidthtunable filter with microelectromechanical-system (MEMS)actuated waveguides is first demonstrated on a silicon-based microdisk resonator. Integrated microheaters enabled wavelength tuning up to 125GHz. Bandwidth can be tuned from 12.0 to 41.2GHz by coupling control. © 2005 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (140.4780) Optical re...

Optical manipulation of microparticles using whispering-gallery modes in a silicon nitride microdisk resonator.

We demonstrate optical manipulation of 1 μm sized polystyrene microparticles on silicon nitride microdisk resonator devices using whispering-gallery modes in an integrated optofluidic chip. We demonstrate multiple trapping tracks and extended trapping ranges within single wavelengths through exciting high-order modes. We observe various sets of trapping tracks and ranges through exciting variou...

Silicon quantum dots in microdisk resonators: Whispering-gallery modes, stress-induced Q-factor tuning and enhancement

We report on visible light emission from Si quantum dot (QD) based optically active microdisk resonators. Room temperature photoluminescence from single microdisks shows the characteristic modal structure of whispering-gallery modes (WGM). Highest quality factors of up to 7000 at visible wavelengths, where Si QDs absorb strongly, have been measured for the first time. Apart from conventional fl...

Enhanced optical tuning of modified-geometry resonators clad in blue phase liquid crystals.

Active optical tuning of silicon racetrack resonators clad in dye-doped blue phase liquid crystals (BPLCs) is experimentally demonstrated. An adiabatic racetrack resonator geometry that allows for enhanced tuning is presented and analyzed. The resonance shift of an unmodified geometry racetrack is Δλ=0.7 nm, while an adiabatic racetrack achieves a Δλ=1.23 nm resonance shift because of a greater...
