The WDM transmission haracteristics have been verified through BER measurements by exploiting he heterointegration of a 60m-long straight DLSPPW on a Silicon-on-Insulator waveguide platform, showing error-free erformance for six out of he twelve channels. High-quality thermo-optic tuning has been achieved by tilizing Cycloaliphatic-Acrylate-Polymer as an efficient thermo-optic olymer loading employed in a dual-resonator DLSPPW switching tructure, yielding a 9nm wavelength shift and extinction ratio values higher han 10dB at both output ports when heated to 90°C.en621journal article
