A Critical Analysis of the Thermo-Optic Time Constant in Si Photonic Devices

The use of integrated heaters is widespread in silicon photonics for waveguide temperature control. The dynamical behavior of the heaters is important for determining their usefulness for certain applications. There exists ambiguity in the literature when it comes to reporting the thermo-optic time...
