摘要

A new type of silica optical micro-kayak cavity fabricated on a silicon chip is designed and demonstrated.This micro-kayak cavity with two straight sides and two semi-circle sides can be used to achieve a compact and flexible arrangement in the design of integrated photonic circuits.The micro-kayak cavity can also be embedded with a Bragg reflection grating in the straight sides for frequency selection using a micro-kayak cavity laser doped with a rare-earth ion.We describe the fabrication methods for the micro-kayak cavity,obtain its spectra,and discuss its potential applications.
