| Abstract: A photonic microresonator incorporates a localized heater element within
a section of an optical bus waveguide that is in proximity to the
resonator structure. The application of an adjustable control voltage to
the heater element provides a localized change in the refractive index
value of the bus waveguide, compensating for temperature-induced
wavelength drift and maintaining a stabilized value of the
microresonator's resonant wavelength. |
