Electrically Tunable Microresonators Using Photoaligned Liquid Crystals使用光學配向液晶為覆層的電可調微諧振器

總結: This invention discloses an alternative approach of electrically tuning silicon-based waveguide-coupled microresonators that employs photoaligned liquid crystals as cladding layers.

Planar optical microresonators that partially confine light and support sharp optical resonances have long been demonstrated as integrated optic filter, multiplexers and demultiplexers for wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) communications, and as wavelength-agile components for non-communications applications such as biochemical sensing. Conventionally, much of the planar optical microresonator-based passive and active devices have been demonstrated in II-V compound semiconductor materials. However, these photonic and optoelectronic devices are not readily compatible with mainstream silicon microelectronics, and thus cannot readily leverage from the industry.

The use of photoaligned liquid crystals as cladding layers provides better control over liquid crystal alignment and hence enhancing the cladding refractive index tuning range.

技術優勢: 1. Better control the liquid crystal alignment
2. Lower production cost
3. Allow massive production
4. Enhancing the cladding refractive index tuning range

技術應用: - Field of electrooptic switches for wavelength-selective routing of wave-guided light
