Abstract

Examples described herein relate to an optical device, such as, a ring resonator, that includes a ring waveguide. The ring resonator includes a ring waveguide to allow passage of light therethrough. Further, the ring resonator includes a modulator formed along a first section of the circumference of the ring waveguide to modulate the light inside the ring waveguide based on an application of a first reverse bias voltage to the modulator. Moreover, the ring resonator includes an avalanche photodiode (APD) isolated from the modulator and formed along a second section of the circumference of the ring waveguide to detect the intensity of the light inside the ring waveguide based on an application of a second reverse bias voltage to the APD. The second section is shorter than the first section, and the second reverse bias voltage is higher than the first reverse bias voltage.
