Funded Activity Summary

Silicon-photonic devices harnessing new resonance phenomena. Silicon photonics is emerging as a billion dollar global technology industry and waveguide resonators are among the most crucial building blocks for silicon photonic systems. This project aims to introduce an entirely new class of optical waveguide resonator based on recently discovered unusual coupling behaviour in silicon photonics. The science underpinning this new effect will be investigated and experimentally verified and the myriad opportunities for novel device concepts will be explored. The compact resonant structures resulting from this project are expected to offer unprecedented filtering functionality while remaining compatible with silicon photonic mass manufacture, ensuring they can be easily utilised by the broader community.
