Silicon-photonic PTAT temperature sensor for micro-ring resonator thermal stabilization

  • 1. ROR icon California Institute of Technology

Abstract

We present a scheme for thermal stabilization of micro-ring resonator modulators through direct measurement of ring temperature using a monolithic PTAT temperature sensor. The measured temperature is used in a feedback loop to adjust the thermal tuner of the ring. The closed-loop feedback system is demonstrated to operate in presence of thermal perturbations at 20Gb/s.
