Passive Temperature Stabilization of Silicon Photonic Devices Using Liquid Crystals

Passive Temperature Stabilization of Silicon Photonic Devices Using Liquid Crystals

In this work we explore the negative thermo-optic properties of liquid crystal claddings for passive temperature stabilization of silicon photonic integrated circuits. Photonic circuits are playing an increasing role in communications and computing, but they suffer from temperature dependent perform...
