Automatic resonance alignment tuning is performed in high-order series coupled microring filters using a feedback system. By inputting only a reference wavelength, a filter is tuned such that passband ripples are dramatically reduced compared to the initial detuned state and the passband becomes centered at the reference. The method is tested on 5th order microring filters fabricated in a standard silicon photonics foundry process. Repeatable tuning is demonstrated for filters on multiple dies from the wafer and for arbitrary reference wavelengths within the free spectral range of the microrings.

The properties of the square array of coupled Microring Resonators (MRRs) with interstitial rings are studied. Dispersion behavior of the interstitial square coupled MRRs is obtained through the transfer matrix method with the Floquet-Bloch periodic condition. Analytical formulas of the eigen wave vectors, band gaps and eigen mode vectors are derived for the special cases of the interstitial square coupled MRRs array with identical couplers and the regular square coupled MRRs array without the interstitial rings. Then, the eigen modes field distribution are calculated for each of the four eigen wave vectors for a given frequency through the secular equation. Finally, numerical simulation is performed for an interstitial square coupled MRRs array with identical couplers and a regular square coupled MRRs array. The simulation result verifies the analytical analysis. Finally, the loaded quality factors of the interstitial 5-ring configuration, the regular 4-ring configuration and the 1-ring configuration are obtained. It is found that the loaded quality factor of the interstitial 5-ring configuration is up to 20 times and 8 times as high as those of the 1-ring configuration and the regular 4-ring configuration respectively, mainly due to the degenerated eigen modes at the resonant frequency. Thus, the interstitial square coupled MRRs array has the great potential to form high-quality integrated photonics components, including filters and resonance based sensing devices like the parity-time symmetric sensors.
We propose and demonstrate, by simply inserting an air-hole in the waveguide side-coupling with a microring resonator (MRR), the transmission spectrum presents Fano lineshapes at all of the resonant modes. Measured from the fabricated devices, Fano l ineshapes with slope rates over 400 dB/nm and extinction ratios over 20 dB are obtained. We ascribe it to the air-hole-induced phase-shift between the discrete resonant modes of the MRR and the continuum propagating mode of the bus-waveguide, which modifies their interference lineshapes from symmetric Lorentzian to asymmetric Fano. From devices with varied locations and diameters of the air-hole, different Fano asymmetric parameters are extracted, verifying the air-hole-induced phase-shifts. This air-hole-assisted waveguide-MRR structure for achieving Fano resonance lineshapes has advantages of simple design, compact footprint, large tolerance of fabrication errors, as well as broadband operation range. It has great potentials to expand and improve performances of on-chip MRR-based devices, including sensors, switchings and filters.
Microring resonators, as a fundamental building block of photonic integrated circuits, have been well developed into numerous functional devices, whose performances are strongly determined by microrings resonance lineshapes. We propose a compact stru cture to reliably realize Lorentzian, Fano, and electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) resonance lineshapes in a microring. By simply inserting two air-holes in the side-coupled waveguide of a microring, a Fabry-Perot (FP) resonance is involved to couple with microrings resonant modes, showing Lorentzian, Fano, and EIT lineshapes over one free spectral range of the FP resonance. The quality factors, extinction ratios, and slope rates in different lineshapes are discussed. At microrings specific resonant wavelength, the lineshape could be tuned among these three types by controlling the FP cavitys length. Experiment results verify the theoretical analysis well and represent Fano lineshapes with extinction ratios of about 20 dB and slope rates over 280 dB/nm. The reliably and flexibly tunable lineshapes in the compact structure have potentials to improve microring-based devices and expand their application scopes.
We demonstrate ultra-high Q factor microring resonators close to the intrinsic material absorption limit on lithium niobate on insulator. The microrings are fabricated on pristine lithium niobate (LN) thin film wafer thinned from LN bulk via chemo-me chanical etching without ion slicing and ion etching. A record-high Q factor up to times ten to the power of 8th at the wavelength of 1550 nm is achieved because of the ultra-smooth interface of the microrings and the absence of ion induced lattice damage, indicating an ultra-low waveguide propagation loss of about 0.28 dB per meter. The ultra-high Q microrings will pave the way for integrated quantum light source, frequency comb generation, and nonlinear optical processes.
High-order optimization methods, including Newtons method and its variants as well as alternating minimization methods, dominate the optimization algorithms for tensor decompositions and tensor networks. These tensor methods are used for data analysi s and simulation of quantum systems. In this work, we introduce AutoHOOT, the first automatic differentiation (AD) framework targeting at high-order optimization for tensor computations. AutoHOOT takes input tensor computation expressions and generates optimized derivative expressions. In particular, AutoHOOT contains a new explicit Jacobian / Hessian expression generation kernel whose outputs maintain the input tensors granularity and are easy to optimize. The expressions are then optimized by both the traditional compiler optimization techniques and specific tensor algebra transformations. Experimental results show that AutoHOOT achieves competitive CPU and GPU performance for both tensor decomposition and tensor network applications compared to existing AD software and other tensor computation libraries with manually written kernels. The tensor methods generated by AutoHOOT are also well-parallelizable, and we demonstrate good scalability on a distributed memory supercomputer.
