A ring resonator electro-optical device includes a first silicon nitride waveguide and a second annular silicon waveguide that comprises a first section running under a second section of the first waveguide. The second waveguide also includes an annular silicon strip having a cross-section increasing in the first section from a minimum cross-section located under the second section.

Electro-optical device with ring resonator

A device, includes: a ring waveguide; a diode comprising a junction extending at least partly in the ring waveguide; and a first circuit configured to supply a signal representative of a leakage current in the diode.

Integrated electro-optical device

An elementary photonic interconnect switch is integrated into an optoelectronic chip and includes four simple photonic interconnect switches. Each simple photonic interconnect switch has two optical waveguides that cross and are linked by a ring resonator having one ring. A basic photonic interconnect switch, a complex photonic interconnect switch and/or a photonic interconnect network are integrated into an optoelectronic chip and including at least two elementary photonic interconnect switches.

Photonic interconnect switches and network integrated into an optoelectronic chip

A photonic interconnect switch is formed by first and second linear optical waveguides that cross to form an intersection. First and second redirecting photonic ring resonators are coupled together in an intermediate optical coupling zone and are controllable with an electrical signal. The first ring resonator is coupled to the first optical waveguide in a first optical coupling zone. The second ring resonator is coupled to the second optical waveguide in a second optical coupling zone.

Integrated photonic interconnect switch and integrated photonic interconnect network

A photonic interconnection elementary switch is integrated in an optoelectronic chip/The switch includes first and second linear optical waveguides which intersect to form a first intersection. Two first photonic redirect ring resonators are respectively coupled to the first and second optical waveguides. Two second photonic redirect ring resonators are respectively coupled to the first and second optical waveguides. A third linear optical waveguide is coupled to one of the first ring resonators and one of the second ring resonators. A fourth linear optical waveguide is coupled to another of the first resonators and to another of the second ring resonators. A base switch, complex switch, and photonic interconnection network integrated in an optoelectronic chip, include at least two of the photonic interconnection elementary switches.
