摘要
A proof-of-concept for a new and entirely CMOS compatible tunable nanobeam cavity is demonstrated in this paper. Preliminary results show that a compact nanobeam cavity ( 20 mu m(2)) with high Q-factor ( 50,000) and integrated with a micro-heater atop, is able of tuning the resonant wavelength up to 15 nm with low power consumption (0.35nm/mW), and of attaining high modulation depth with only 100 mu W. Additionally, a tunable bi-stable behavior is reported. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America
