Adiabatic Resonant Microrings (ARMs) with directly integrated thermal microphotonics

A new class of microphotonic-resonators, Adiabatic Resonant Microrings (ARMs), is introduced. The ARM resonator geometry enables heater elements to be formed within the resonator, simultaneously enabling record low-power (4.4 W/GHz) and record high-speed (1 mus) thermal tuning.
