Mach–Zehnder–Fano interferometer
We introduce a concept of the Mach–Zehnder–Fano interferometer by inserting a cavity exhibiting Fano resonance into a conventional interferometer. By employing the scattering-matrix approach, we demonstrate that the transmission becomes sensitive to a position of the cavity such that an asymmetric structure exhibits a series of narrow resonances with almost perfect reflection. We discuss how to...
متن کاملRing-coupled Mach-Zehnder interferometer optimized for sensing.
We demonstrate numerically that the theoretical maximum sensitivity of a ring-coupled Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) optimized as a sensor is about 30% greater than the optimized sensitivity of a conventional single-bus ring sensor with an identical ring perimeter and loss. The ring-coupled MZI sensor also achieves its greater sensitivity with a 25% lower circulating power, which is useful f...
متن کاملInterference effect in a dual microresonator-coupled Mach–Zehnder interferometer
We present a theoretical study of interference effect in a Mach–Zehnder interferometer in which two microresonators are side coupled to both arms of the interferometer. The results show that sharp asymmetric Fano resonance, coupled resonator induced transparency and absorption effects can be created in such a structure. We demonstrate that these effects arise from interference between a resonan...
متن کاملCoupled Mach-Zehnder interferometer memory element.
Two active Mach-Zehnder interferometers are integrated in a monolithic InP/InGaAsP photonic integrated circuit. Together they form a crucial component for optical signal processing: an optical memory element or set-reset flip-flop. The switching time for this initial device is approximately 200 ps. The photonic integrated circuit contains active and passive optical components, including electro...
متن کاملSemiconductor-Optical-Amplifier Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Based Optical Networks
In this paper, an all-optical AND logic scheme which exploits the cross-phase modulation (XPM) effect in semiconductor-optical-amplifier-assisted Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (SOA-MZI), is proposed, performance analyzed and parameters optimized. The proposal is validated and the system performance under various parameters is examined through numerical simulations. With only moderate parameters, ...
