We present an on-chip analog feedback circuit to stabilize the micro-ring modulator operation against temperature fluctuations, implemented in monolithic 45 nm CMOS-Silicon-Photonics …

Abstract: We demonstrate the thermal control of cascaded micro-ring DWDM filters using a single photodiode. The streamlined implementation maintains stable operation of the 8-ring bus with …

Abstract: We present a method for automatic wavelength locking and stabilization of an ultra-high-speed silicon microring modulator. We developed a resonance wavelength locking control …

Previous work has demonstrated resonance locking by algorithmically searching for the minimum transmission point in a microring resonance [2]. Here, we introduce the use of thermal …

Control systems that actively stabilize MRM have demonstrated the ability to compensate for thermal fluctuations, but none have addressed all system requirements for large-scale …

In this paper, we discuss a novel solution to stabilize the working point of a Silicon microring modulator based on the dithering technique, that is both power-independent and calibration-free.

Abstract: We describe and demonstrate the use of a feedback control system to thermally stabilize a silicon microring modulator subjected to a thermally volatile environment. …

A method to stabilize the resonance wavelength of a depletion-type silicon micro-ring resonator modulator during high-speed operation is described.

The model provides very accurate description of Si micro-ring modulator modulation characteristics and allows intuitive interpretation based on the pole-zero diagram.

Jan 1, 2019 · Abstract: We present a custom-designed integrated circuit (IC) implemented in 0.25-μm BiCMOS technology that can automatically control the Si micro-ring modulator (MRM) …
