Abstract :
We present the design and fabrication of thermally-efficient tuning structures integrated into a narrowband reconfigurable radio-frequency-photonics filter using silicon-on-insulator waveguide optical delay lines. We are able to achieve IIR, FIR or mixed responses with <;; 100mW total tuning power.
