Patent ID: 8519803

Claim:
A resonator system comprising: an array of resonators disposed adjacent to a waveguide, wherein each resonator has a resonance frequency in a resonator frequency comb, and wherein channels with frequencies in a channel frequency comb are transmitted in the waveguide; at least one temperature sensor located adjacent to the array of resonators; a resonator control electronically connected to the at least one temperature sensor, wherein resonance frequencies in the resonator frequency comb are to be adjusted by the resonator control in response to ambient temperature changes detected by the at least one temperature sensor to align the resonance frequency comb with the channel frequency comb; and a barrel shifter connected to each resonator in the array of resonators, wherein the barrel shifter maintains an electronic signal-to-resonance frequency correspondence as directed by the resonator control in response to an ambient temperature change detected by the at least one temperature sensor.
