title: Error-free operation of a polarization-insensitive 4λ x 25 Gbps silicon photonic WDM receiver with closed-loop thermal stabilization of Si microrings.
abstract: We report the first closed-loop operation of a 100 Gbps polarization-insensitive, 4-channel wavelength-tracking WDM receiver in silicon photonics platform. Error-free operation is achieved with input polarization scrambling over input wavelength change of 4.5 nm using efficient thermal tuning of Si microring demux, corresponding to greater than 60°C fluctuation in temperature.
