“…The characteristic frequency spectrum of the microring, which is dependent upon its size, is a defining factor in the transmission of a selected wavelength of light into another waveguide. The microring resonators are widely employed in the design and manufacture of optical filters [4][5][6], modulators [7,8], optical switches [9,10], optical delay lines [11], and Kerr frequency combs [12][13][14][15], etc. Multiple material systems have been used to fabricate microring resonators, such as silicon on insulator (SOI) [1,[16][17][18], silicon nitride (SiN) [5,19], and lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) [20][21][22][23].…”

In this paper we design, simulate, and analyze single-mode microring resonators in thin films of z-cut lithium tantalate. They operate at wavelengths that are approximately equal to 1.55 μm. The single-mode conditions and transmission losses of lithium tantalate waveguides are simulated for different geometric parameters and silica thicknesses. An analysis is presented on the quality factor and free spectral range of the microring resonators in lithium tantalate at contrasting radii and gap sizes. The electro-optical modulation performance is analyzed for microring resonators with a radius of 20 μm. Since they have important practical applications, the filtering characteristics of the microring resonators that contain two straight waveguides are analyzed. This work enhances the knowledge of lithium tantalate microring structures and offers guidance on the salient parameters for the fabrication of highly efficient multifunctional photonic integrated devices, such as tunable filters and modulators.
