Latest Patents
One of Zhoufeng Ying's latest patents is titled "System and apparatus of controlling ring resonator operating points." This invention describes a method and system for locking the resonance frequency of ring resonators. The system utilizes laser sources to emit a plurality of different wavelengths, applying a tagging signal to each wavelength. The tagged wavelengths are multiplexed using a wavelength division multiplexor and coupled onto a bus waveguide. The invention includes detecting the multiplexed tagged wavelengths with photodetectors positioned before and after a series of ring resonators. The signals detected are sent to a processor, which identifies and processes the tagging signals. This generates control signals for each ring resonator, which are then applied to phase shifters to tune and align the resonance wavelengths of the ring resonators with the corresponding laser sources.
