Silicon-photonic devices harnessing new resonance phenomena

硅光子学正在成为价值10亿美元的全球技术产业，而波导谐振器是硅光子学系统最关键的构件之一。该项目旨在引入一种全新的光波导谐振器，基于最近在硅光子学中发现的不寻常的耦合行为。支持这一新效应的科学基础将被调查和实验验证，并将探索新设备概念的无数机会。该项目产生的紧凑型谐振结构预计将提供前所未有的过滤功能，同时保持与硅光子大规模制造的兼容性，确保它们可以很容易地被更广泛的社区使用。

Silicon photonics is emerging as a billion dollar global technology industry and waveguide resonators are among the most crucial building blocks for silicon photonic systems. This project aims to introduce an entirely new class of optical waveguide resonator based on recently discovered unusual coupling behaviour in silicon photonics. The science underpinning this new effect will be investigated and experimentally verified and the myriad opportunities for novel device concepts will be explored. The compact resonant structures resulting from this project are expected to offer unprecedented filtering functionality while remaining compatible with silicon photonic mass manufacture, ensuring they can be easily utilised by the broader community.
