Abstract
This paper presents a detailed analysis of racetrack resonators on silicon on
insulator substrates. Both the temperature effects and the particularities of silicon
nanophotonics are considered throughout the approach. This paper provides a detailed
description of the numerical modeling and its application to different designs, while
providing several charts and fitting equations. The results presented in this paper can
be applied to three major applications: Thermo-optical tuning of optical resonators,
thermo-optical modulator and wide range/high sensitivity temperature sensors. While
quantifying the temperature effects, this paper also provides useful answers on how
critical the temperature parameter is in the optical cavity behaviour.
