Abstract

An optically pumped thermo-optic (TO) silicon ring add-drop filter with fast thermal response is experimentally demonstrated. We propose that metal-insulator-metal (MIM) light absorber can be integrated into silicon TO devices, acting as a localized heat source which can be activated remotely by a pump beam. The MIM absorber design introduces less thermal capacity to the device, compared to conventional electrically-driven approaches. Experimentally, the absorber-integrated add-drop filter shows an optical response time of 13.7 μs following the 10%–90% rule (equivalent to a exponential time constant of 5 μs) and a wavelength shift over pump power of 60 pm/mW. The photothermally tunable add-drop filter may provide new perspectives for all-optical routing and switching in integrated Si photonic circuits.

Fig. 5 The measured transient optical response of the absorber-integrated Si ring, with pump laser square-wave modulated, duty cycle of 50%, and period of (a) 100 μs, (b) 40 μs, (c) 20 μs, and (d) 10 μs. The magenta solid line is the optical transient transmission signal of the Si ring at T-port. The black dash line is the transient transmission signal at D-port. The blue solid line is transient synchronization signal of the pump light. The green horizontal solid line indicates the 10% and 90% step height of the optical transmission signal at T-port, which is used to extract the optical rise/fall time of the device.
