Optical ring resonators

Résumé

An optical ring resonator is a set of waveguides in which at least one is a closed loop coupled to some sort of light input and output. (These can be, but are not limited to being, waveguides.) The concepts behind optical ring resonators are the same as those behind whispering galleries except that they use light and obey the properties behind constructive interference and total internal reflection. When light of the resonant wavelength is passed through the loop from the input waveguide, the light builds up in intensity over multiple round-trips owing to constructive interference and is output to the output bus waveguide which serves as a detector waveguide. Because only a select few wavelengths will be at resonance within the loop, the optical ring resonator functions as a filter. Additionally, as implied earlier, two or more ring waveguides can be coupled to each other to form an add/drop optical filter. Background Optical ring resonators work on the principles behind

Electrically tunable optical resonator on a chip for fast tunable integrated lasers

Tobias Kippenberg, Grigorii Likhachev, Anat Siddharth

The present invention relates to an electrically tunable photonic resonator device for a component having a fast and flat actuation response, comprising: - At least one optical waveguide with an optical interface for coupling in laser light, - At least one optical resonator including a waveguide being made of an optical resonator material, particularly Si3N4, wherein laser light coupled via the at least one optical waveguide is coupled into the at least one optical resonator, - At least one piezo actuator to apply mechanical stress at least partially onto the at least one optical resonator; wherein the at least one optical resonator, the at least one piezo actuator and the at least one optical waveguide are monolithically integrated on a common substrate of the photonic resonator device; - a mechanical mode suppression means configured to attenuate one or more mechanical modes of oscillation caused by an AC operation of the at least one piezo actuator.

High-rate photon pairs and sequential Time-Bin entanglement with Si3N4 microring resonators

Maxim Karpov, Tobias Kippenberg

Integrated photonics is increasing in importance for compact, robust, and scalable enabling quantum technologies. This is particularly interesting for developing quantum communication networks, where resources need to be deployed in the field. We exploit photonic chip-based Si3N4 microring resonators to realise a photon pair source with low-loss, high-noise suppression and coincidence rates of 80 x 10(3) s(-1). A simple photonic noise characterisation technique is presented that distinguishes linear and nonlinear contributions useful for system design and optimisation. We then demonstrate an all-fiber 750MHz clock-rate sequential Time-Bin entanglement scheme with raw interference visibilities >98 %.
