Global design rules for silicon microphotonic waveguides: Sensitivity, polarization and resonance tunability

In a rigorous design study of silicon-in-silica waveguides and resonators we address critical parameters for tunable filters. 6:1 aspect-ratio TE and 2:1 TM waveguide designs optimize resonance-frequency dimensional tolerances, proximate metal-electrode loss and other constraints.
