Efficiency modeling of tuning techniques for silicon carrier injection ring resonators

Modeling of carrier injection ring resonator devices with common thermal tuning and a new dual-bias/thermal scheme reveals that the latter scheme offers ~50% improvement in power with small variations and close to 16X speed improvement.
