| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We proposed and developed two types of quantum well microring-resonator (MRR)-based polarization control devices. A five-layer asymmetric coupled quantum well (FACQW) is used in a core layer as the quantum well. One is an MRR TE-TM polarization switch with an L-shaped asymmetric waveguide. It was shown that using the combination of the large electric-field-induced refractive index change in the quantum well and filtering characteristics of the MRR, low-voltage polarization switch can be realized. The other one is a Stokes Vector modulator. The device is composed of an intensity modulator based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and double MRR phase shifters Owing to an enhanced phase shift in the FACQW double MRR, the size of the device can be significantly reduced and can be driven by low voltage.
