| Abstract: A resonant photonic device is provided. The device comprises an optical
waveguiding element, such as an optical resonator, that includes a diode
junction region, two signal terminals configured to apply a bias voltage
across the junction region, and a heater laterally separated from the
optical waveguiding element. A semiconductor electrical barrier element
is juxtaposed to the heater. A metallic strip is electrically and
thermally connected at one end to a signal terminal of the optical
waveguiding element and thermally connected at another end to the barrier
element. |
