Microring Resonators and its Applications

Abstract

Microring resonators (MRRs) are the most sought on-chip optical components after the optical waveguides due to versatile usages and functionalities whether in linear or nonlinear and quantum properties. A simple MRR geometry consists of one or two straight waveguides and circular or bent waveguides. Due to huge potential and versatility, we provide a comprehensive review on microring resonators that encompasses from material selection to applications and various configurations.
