Dynamic control of light in on-chip microresonators
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Optical microresonators have generated much progress in many aspects of optical science, such as in optical buffering, wavelength division-multiplexed filters for optical networks, optical switching, and in the enhancement of nonlinear effects. All these applications are made possible by the confinement of light within a small modal volume in the microresonator. The ability to actively tune the resonance within a microresonator has resulted in systems that can dynamically manipulate the flow of light. This thesis discusses some of the novel capabilities of these dynamic systems. Chapters 3 - 4 discusses the use of a dynamic delay line to suppress dispersion, and to overcome the gain-bandwidth product constraint of slow-light structures. This is followed by Chapter 5 which introduces a light-stopping scheme based on loss modulation. Finally, Chapter 6 shows how coherent control can be used in a microresonator system to enhance optical switching.
