  • Abstract
    Precise and fast post-fabrication trimming of coupling has been demonstrated using high-intensity laser photobleaching of the coupling region in high-Q passive polymer microrings vertically coupled to chromophore-doped waveguides, and in laterally coupled electro-optic ring modulators.
