In an integrated ring resonator, the design freedom for high efficiency is even more constrained due to its ultra-compact footprint and low cross talk requirements for large-scale operation. In this Letter, we demonstrated a polarization multiplexed microring resonator for efficient phase tuning. Experimental results indicate 55%/177% enhancement in the phase tuning efficiency compared with traditional devices operated in a pure TE/TM mode. With zero change in the fabrication process, the proposed structure provides a versatile design methodology for efficiency enhancement in the realm of data communications and optical computing.Polarization-recycling phase tuning in an integrated ring resonatorJournal article10.1364/OL.551961WOS:001468790100011MODULATORMEDLINE:40167736
