Tunable frequency combs based on dual microring resonators

We demonstrate tunable coupling condition of a silicon nitride microresonator frequency comb. Using a dual-coupled resonator geometry and integrated microheaters, we achieve 13.3 dB of extinction tuning and observe 10-fold increase in generated power.
