A high-Q tunable interior-ridge microring filter

A tunable interior-ridge microring filter is demonstrated with a high quality factor of 1.5×10 5 , while achieving a thermal tuning efficiency of 5.5μW/GHz. The filter demonstrates a record low insertion-loss <;0.05dB over an uncorrupted 4-THz free-spectral-range.
