研究目的
To demonstrate the operation of a thermally tunable coupled-resonator-induced transparency system on a germanium-on-insulator photonic platform at a mid-infrared wavelength.
研究成果
The study successfully realizes coupled-resonator-induced transparency using two evanescently coupled microring resonators on a GeOI photonic platform, with tunability achieved through overlying metal heaters. A maximum coupling rate of 1.25 GHz is achieved, demonstrating the potential for mid-infrared photonic integrated circuits.
研究不足
The study is limited by fabrication variations that cause initial resonance wavelength differences between the two microring resonators. The thermo-optic tuning mechanism may also introduce thermal crosstalk and power consumption issues.
