Picosecond optically reconfigurable filters exploiting full free spectral range tuning of single ring and Vernier effect resonators

We demonstrate that phase shifts larger than 2 pi can be induced by all-optical tuning in silicon waveguides of a few micrometers in length. By generating high concentrations of free carriers in the silicon employing absorption of ultrashort, ultraviolet laser pulses, the refractive index of silicon...
