Abstract :
A traveling-wave resonator structure with interferometric-coupling scheme is shown to have the capability of supporting both over-coupled and critically-coupled modes, simultaneously. This device is demonstrated in SOI with an integrated microheater to tune its coupling. The application of this device for nonlinear optics is discussed.
