contents In this paper, we demonstrate the ultra-high-power handling capability and DC bias stability of optical microring and electro-optic (EO) coupling resonators on the thin-film lithium tantalate (TFLT) platform. We show that, with annealing, oxide-cladded TFLT resonators can handle several watts (4W) of circulating power with minimal frequency shift and no observable photo-refractive effect. Furthermore, we demonstrate a compact 2mm coupling modulator achieving a low Vpi of 3V with stable bias and phase control in the telecom C-band.
