Automated photonic tuning of silicon microring resonators using a 3D-printed microfluidic mixer

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: We demonstrate a novel method to automate tuning of microring resonators using 3D-printed microfluidic control capable of resonance wavelength shifts of 4 nm. We use a custom 3D-printer that can fabricate microfluidic devices with sub-10 μm features and that perform automatic pumping, mixing, and dilution operations.
