The Potential of Silicon Photonic Devices based on Micro-Ring Resonator

Abstract

Silicon photonic is the theory and application of photonic systems that utilize silicon as an optical medium. The fabrication compatibility with current CMOS processes offer vast development and future improvement of optical devices. By using silicon micro-ring resonator, the requirement of high speed on-chip interconnections can be achieved. This paper gives an overview of the recent research on the potential of silicon photonics based on micro-ring resonator
