摘要
We proposed and demonstrated an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) based temperature sensor with high sensitivity and precision. The sensor is realized using a silicon-on-insulator-based microring resonator (MRR) and a dual-loop structure. The MRR, which acts as a sensing probe, is optimized and designed to have an ultrahigh Q factor and high sensitivity to temperature variations simultaneously. The dual-loop structure is used to further stabilize the oscillating frequency of OEO. By doing so, we achieved an on-chip temperature sensor with a sensing precision of +/- 1.73x10(-4) degrees C. Meanwhile, the sensing resolution and sensitivity are 6.79 x 10(-3) degrees C and 10.02 GHz/degrees C, respectively. The impact of the size of the MRR on the temperature sensor is also investigated.
