A few years ago I posted this white paper along with an Intel video where two of the paper authors (Miriam Reshotko, Bruce Block) demonstrated a polymer ring resonator - I can no longer find that link. Hopefully one of you veterans can recall the video and can post the link.
Like you guys, I also noticed in the latest release that Intel did not call it an "All" silicon micro ring resonator.
The white paper is from 2010; evidently they were using the Dalton/A.K. Jen EO material. Perhaps they (Intel) have revisited this solution with LWLG polymers??
...The demonstrated photonic process is based on a silicon nitride single-mode waveguidewith silicon dioxide cladding and provides waveguides, electrooptic (EO) polymer ring resonator (RR) modulators [20]–[22].
