Electrically Erasable Optical I/O for Wafer Scale Testing of Silicon Photonic Integrated Circuits

A technique for realizing electrically erasable photonics devices using micro-heaters for localized annealing of lattice defects in silicon is presented. The lattice defects have previously been introduced by ion implantation in order to cause a refractive index change. This technique can be used to...
