Abstract
In this paper we propose a design of an integrated wavelength-tunable vortex beam emitter based on the silicon photonics platform. The proposed device utilizes the free-plasma dispersion effect in order to change the effective index of the ring waveguide, which leads to displacement of the resonant wavelengths. This scheme allows to bypass the dependence of the emitter resonant characteristics from the fabrication errors. Our simulations also show that for the micro-ring resonators with a small free spectral range it becomes possible to switch the emitted vortex order keeping the same wavelength. Such capabilities make the proposed emitter useful in a wide applications range from communication systems to sensors.
