A Single-Chip Integrated Spectrometer via Tunable Microring Resonator Array

We experimentally demonstrate a spectrometer, which consists of an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG), tunable microring resonator (MRR) array, and waveguide-coupled Ge-on-Si photodetector, all integrated onto a single chip. The spectrometer achieves high resolution (0.1 ± 0.029 nm) and larg...

description We experimentally demonstrate a spectrometer, which consists of an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG), tunable microring resonator (MRR) array, and waveguide-coupled Ge-on-Si photodetector, all integrated onto a single chip. The spectrometer achieves high resolution (0.1 &#x00B1; 0.029 nm) and large bandwidth (25.4 nm) in 9 channels with a small footprint of 3 &#x00D7; 3 mm<sup>2</sup>. It has high potential to enable a high-performance spectrometer for applications such as environmental monitoring, spectroscopy, biological and chemical sensing, etc.
