Abstract
A broadly tunable optomechanical apparatus includes a resonator component consisting of two coupled optical microring resonators disposed in a stacked relationship, an input waveguide disposed adjacent a periphery of the resonator component, and a control signal waveguide coupled to the resonator component or the input signal waveguide. A broadband optical switch includes a plurality of resonator components each of which corresponds to a selected signal wavelength, predetermined by the geometry and design of the resonator component, and a respective plurality of output signal waveguides, and a respective plurality of a control signal waveguides each coupled to a respective resonator component. Associated tuning and switching methods and applications are disclosed.
