All-fiber add-drop filters based on microfiber knot resonators.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate an all-fiber add-drop filter composed of a microfiber knot (working as a resonator) and a fiber taper (working as a dropping fiber). The dropping taper can be either parallel or perpendicular to the input port of the filter. A quality factor (Q factor) of 13,000 is obtained from a parallel-coupling 308 microm diameter microknot add-drop filter with a free spectral range (FSR) of 1.8 nm. A Q factor of approximately 3300 is obtained from a cross-coupling 65 microm diameter microknot add-drop filter with a FSR of 8.1 nm. This device is particularly easy to fabricate and to connect to fiber systems.

Fabrication and Applications of Microfiber
Microfibers have attracted growing interest recently especially in their fabrication methods and applications. This is due to a number of interesting optical properties of these devices, which can be used to develop low-cost, miniaturized and all-fiber based optical devices for various applications (Bilodeau et al., 1988; Birks and Li, 1992 ). For instance, many research efforts have focused on...
متن کاملAdd-Drop and Channel-Drop Optical Filters Based on Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators
Here, we propose an add-drop and a channel drop filter based on two-dimensional photonic crystal all circular ring resonators. These structures are made of a square lattice of silicon rods with the refractive index n1=3.464 surrounded by air (with refractive index n2=1). The broadest photonic band gap occurs at the filling ratio of r/a = 0.17. Two linear defect W1 waveguides couple to the ring....
متن کاملAdd-Drop Filter Based on Wavelength-Dependent Light Interlink between Lithium-Niobate Microwaveguide Chip and Microfiber Knot Ring
In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate an add-drop filter based on wavelengthdependent light coupling between a lithium-niobate (LN) microwaveguide chip and a microfiber knot ring (MKR). The MKR was fabricated from a standard single-mode fiber, and the LN microwaveguide chip works as a robust substrate to support the MKR. The guided light can be transmitted through add and drop functional...

In this paper, a channel drop ring resonator filter based on two dimensional photonic crystal is proposed which is suitable for all optical communication systems. The multilayer of silicon rods in the center of resonant ring enables one to adjust resonant wavelength of the ring and enhance power coupling efficiency between ring and waveguide. Refractive index and radius of multilayer rods insid...
متن کاملHighly sensitive refractive index sensor based on cascaded microfiber knots with Vernier effect.
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a refractive index (RI) sensor based on cascaded microfiber knot resonators (CMKRs) with Vernier effect. Deriving from high proportional evanescent field of microfiber and spectrum magnification function of Vernier effect, the RI sensor shows high sensitivity as well as high detection resolution. By using the method named "Drawing-Knotting-Assembling (D...
