Abstract

Tunable resonator systems and methods for tuning resonator systems are disclosed. In one aspect, a resonator system includes an array of resonators disposed adjacent to a waveguide, at least one temperature sensor located adjacent to the array of resonators, and a resonator control electronically connected to the at least one temperature sensor. Each resonator has a resonance frequency in a resonator frequency comb and channels with frequencies in a channel frequency comb are transmitted in the waveguide. Resonance frequencies in the resonator frequency comb are to be adjusted in response to ambient temperature changes detected by the at least one temperature sensors to align the resonance frequency comb with the channel frequency comb.
