The mechanism is based on a silicon–SiO_2–graphene capacitor on top of the ring waveguide. We show the capacitive actuation of the add/drop functionality by a voltage-driven change of the graphene optical absorption. The proposed capacitive solution overcomes the need for continuous heating to keep tuned the filter's in/out resonance and therefore eliminates "in operation" energy consumption.展开更多
