Organic and Inorganic Glasses for Microring resonators

Abstract

The application of organic and inorganic glasses in microring resonators (MRs) is discussed. The relevant properties of both classes of materials will be resumed. It will be shown that especially polymer glasses can generate some stability problems in MRs. In addition, it will be shown that the combination of organic and inorganic glasses in (hybrid) devices can yield superior products but might also result in compatibility problems
