Microring resonator based photonic devices using high-contrast waveguides

Photonics as a field began in the 1960s with the invention of laser. The inventions of semiconductor laser diode in the 1970s and Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) in the late 1980s have revolutionized the telecommunication of the late 20th century and provided the infrastructure for the internet...
