Dynamic thermal control of silicon nitride photonic integrated circuits

Multiple heaters in photonic integrated circuits must be controlled accurately to achieve reliable performance of the thermooptic system. In this paper, we show wavelength stabilization using a system with unique design for silicon nitride circuits.
