A high-Q-factor tunable silica-based microring resonator (MRR) is demonstrated. To meet the critical-coupling condition, a Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) as the tunable coupler was integrated with a racetrack resonator. Then, 40 mW electronic power was applied on the microheater on the arm of MZI, and a maximal notch depth of about 13.84 dB and a loaded Q factor of 4.47 × 106 were obtained. The proposed MRR shows great potential in practical application for optical communications and integrated optics.

In this paper, ultrahigh-Q factor racetrack microring resonators (MRRs) are demonstrated based on silica planar lightwave circuits (PLCs) platform. A loaded ultrahigh-Q factor Qload of 1.83 × 106 is obtained. The MRRs are packaged with fiber-to-fiber loss of ~5 dB. A notch depth of 3 dB and ~137 pm FSR are observed. These MRRs show great potential in optical communications as filters. Moreover, the devices are suitable used in monolithic integration and hybrid integration with other devices, especially in external cavity lasers (ECLs) to realize ultranarrow linewidths.

Microring resonators (MRRs) is a compact and multi-functioned device which is mainly characterized by free spectral range (FSR) and quality factor (Q-factor). In this paper, the influence of glucose concentration to the resonant wavelength shift of MRRs is presented. The calculation was carried out using semi-numerical method for different values of FSR and Q-factor. The parameters used in the calculation including incident wavelength, ring radii of circular waveguide, gap sizes between circular and straight waveguides, the dimension of both waveguides, and refractive index of polymer, SiO2 and glucoce solution. The results show that glucose affects the resonant wavelength shift for each values of FSR and Q-factor. The increase of the glucose concentration causes the increase of the resonant wavelength shift, therefore this polymer-based MRR’s can be used for glucose sensing application.
