Integrated ring resonators

More about the book

This book focuses on integrated ring resonators made from various optical waveguide materials for diverse applications. These resonators are essential for creating optical filters, lasers, sensors, modulators, and dispersion compensators. It encompasses everything from simulations of different ring resonator configurations to current fabrication processes and their applications across various fields. The content summarizes the evolution of this technology, showcasing numerous examples from past to present. It is aimed at students, graduates, professionals, academics, and industry experts engaged in this dynamic area. The examples presented were collected over four years, organized into chapters for clarity. Integrated ring resonators have captivated me since my PhD began in 1999, and I express my gratitude to the community for providing valuable research material that inspired this work. Given the vast number of publications in this field, I hope to have referenced most significant contributions and welcome any suggestions for overlooked works. As research continues, I invite contributions to my database for inclusion in future publications.
