In this work, we experimentally demonstrate a FSR-free, MRR-based, coupling modulator
that integrates a bent, grating-based contra-directional-coupler (contra-DC) into a microring …

We demonstrate silicon microring carrier-injection-based modulators/switches with
waveguide cross-coupling. We tune the modulator extinction ratio by forward-biasing either …

Silicon microring resonator has been recognized as a competitive structure for the electro-
optic modulator due to its potential for high-density integration. There are two silicon-ring …

Fabrication errors currently hold back the large-scale adoption of silicon micro-ring
modulators (MRMs). The ability to correct their spectral features post-fabrication is required …

An optical modulator design based upon anti-crossing between coupled silicon microrings
with independent amplitude and phase functionality is presented. The device exhibits over …

Optical isolators and circulators are critical building blocks for large-scale photonic
integrated circuits. Among the several methods proposed to realize such nonreciprocal …

A silicon (Si) and lanthanum-doped lead zirconium titanate (PLZT) hybrid microring
modulator based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) platform is designed theoretically and …

The coupling intensity modulator based on a triple-microring structure was proposed and
numerically investigated for a high speed and a low bit error ratio (BER) operation. The …

In this thesis, we study silicon-based polygonal microdisk resonators with laterally coupled
waveguides. We experimentally demonstrate the first waveguide-coupled octagonal …
