Abstract
A wavelength selective reflector thermally tuned by semiconductor resistors placed in proximity to the microring elements is proposed as a mirror in a hybrid silicon tunable laser application. The Vernier effect is utilized to increase device free spectral range and decrease required temperature shifts.
