Ultra-compact high order ring resonator filters using submicron silicon photonic wires for on-chip optical interconnects

Photonic Crystal Ring Resonator Based Optical Filters

Porous silicon ring resonator for compact, high sensitivity biosensing applications.

A ring resonator is patterned on a porous silicon slab waveguide to produce a compact, high quality factor biosensor with a large internal surface area available for enhanced recognition of biological and chemical molecules. The porous nature of the ring resonator allows molecules to directly interact with the guided mode. Quality factors near 10,000 were measured for porous silicon ring resona...

Silicon photonic parametric optical processing for ultra-high bandwidth on-chip signal grooming

We show wavelength conversion and wavelength multicasting using four-wave mixing in silicon waveguides, achieving record performance in both bandwidth and bit rates in this CMOS-compatible platform. Non-return-to-zero data at 10and 40-Gb/s bit rates is wavelength converted across nearly 50 nm, with error-free transmission. Bit-rate transparency of the all-optical process is demonstrated by conv...
