A thin Si pedestal layer between microdisk and oxide increases the thermal conductivity dramatically, while Q is preserved, enabling higher field intensities in nonlinear-optical applications.
Abstract
Silicon-on-insulator ultra-high Q resonators with improved thermal properties are reported. A thin Si pedestal layer between microdisk and oxide increases the thermal conductivity dramatically, while Q is preserved, enabling higher field intensities in nonlinear-optical applications.
