Microring Resonators Coupling Tunability by Heterogeneous 2D Material Integration
arXiv:1807.03945
Abstract
Atomically thin 2D materials provide a wide range of basic building blocks with unique properties, making them ideal for heterogeneous integration with a mature chip platform. An understanding the role of excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides in Silicon photonic platform is a prerequisite for advances in optical communication technology, signal processing, and possibly computing. Here we demonstrate passive tunable coupling by integrating few layers of MoTe2 on a micro-ring resonator. We find a TMD-to-rings circumference coverage length ratio to place the ring into critical coupling to be about 10% as determined from the variation of spectral resonance visibility and loss as a function of TMD coverage. Using this TMD ring heterostructure, we further demonstrate a semi-empirical method to determine the index of an unknown TMD material (nMoTe2 of 4.36+.011i) near for telecommunication-relevant wavelength.
