Abstract

The dispersion characteristics of a microresonator are important for applications in nonlinear optics, and precise measurement of the dispersion profile is crucial to device design and optimization. Here we demonstrate the dispersion measurement of high-quality-factor gallium nitride (GaN) microrings by a single-mode fiber ring, which is simple and convenient to access. Once the dispersion parameters of the fiber ring have been determined by the opto-electric modulation method, the dispersion can be obtained from the microresonator dispersion profile by polynomial fitting. To further verify the accuracy of the proposed method, the dispersion of the GaN microrings is also evaluated with frequency comb-based spectroscopy. Dispersion profiles obtained with both methods are in good agreement with simulations based on the finite element method.
