    Abstract: A line-shaped heater and an optical resonator with portions on opposite sides of the line-shaped heater are provided. In particular a device provided herein includes: one or more inputs; one or more outputs; one or more optical waveguides configured to: receive an optical signal from at least one of the one or more inputs; and convey the optical signal to at least one of the one or more outputs; an optical resonator configured to modulate or filter the optical signal; and a heater configured to heat the optical resonator, the heater being line-shaped and having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, and the optical resonator comprising a first portion at the first side of the heater and a second portion at the second side of the heater.

    Abstract: Devices to mitigate polarization mode dispersion are provided. An example device comprises: an input coupler configured to receive an optical signal comprising a first portion in a first polarization mode and a second portion in a second polarization mode, the second polarization mode about perpendicular to the first polarization mode; an output and/or an optical detector; and one or more optical components configured to convey the optical signal from the input coupler to the output and/or optical detector, one or more of the input coupler and the optical component(s) introducing a total differential group delay between the first and second portions. The optical component(s) comprising: a rotating component configured to rotate the first polarization mode of the first portion to the second polarization mode and rotate the second polarization mode of the second portion to the first polarization mode, to adjust the total differential group delay.
