Automatic wavelength tuning of series-coupled Vernier racetrack resonators on SOI

Using in-resonator photoconductive heaters to both sense and control the intra-cavity light intensity of microring resonators, automatic tuning of a silicon-on-insulator two-ring Vernier filter is demonstrated across the entire C-band.
