Experimental realization of a CMOS-compatible optical directed priority encoder using cascaded micro-ring resonators

In this paper, we propose and experimentally demonstrate an integrated optical device that can implement the logical function of priority encoding from a 4-bit electrical signal to a 2-bit optical signal. For the proof of concept, the thermo-optic modulation scheme is adopted to tune each micro-ring...
