Abstract
Large microring resonators provide high confinement and small free spectral range. When sufficiently large, both microwave and optical photons can be confined by the structure, allowing microwave-optical coupling. Lithium niobate is an ideal candidate as it has high electro-optic and nonlinear coefficients. Electro-optic modulation of microring resonators allows dynamic and real-time tuning of the free-spectral range of the microring, making such a device useful for microwave photonics and quantum optics applications. We fabricate and characterize microring resonators in titanium diffused lithium niobate.
