چکیده
A reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer as well as a 1x4x4 reconfigurable λ router, designed for use in the second telecom window, are demonstrated. The devices that each have a footprint less than 2 mm are based on thermally tunable vertically coupled microring resonators fabricated in Si3N4/SiO2.

Densely integrated microring resonator based photonic devices for use in access networks.
Two reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers, operating in the second or third telecom window, as well as a 1x4x4 reconfigurable lambda-router operating in the second telecom window, are demonstrated. The devices have a footprint less than 2 mm(2) and are based on thermally tunable vertically coupled microring resonators fabricated in Si(3)N(4)/SiO(2).
متن کاملDensely Integrated Photonic Devices based on Microring Resonators in Access Networks
The application of optical fibers has led to virtually lossless point to point data links in the core network with practically unlimited bandwidth. In response to increasing bandwidth demands of consumers the optical techniques employed in these networks are now gradually extended towards the consumers premises. At the access network level, where equipment is shared by a few users at the most, ...

Photonic crystal ring resonators (PCRRs) are traditional structures fordesigning optical channel drop filters. In this paper, Photonic crystal channel drop filter(CDFs) with a new configuration of ring resonator is presented. The structure is made ofa square lattice of silicon rods with the refractive index nsi=3. 4 which are perforated inair with refractive index nair=1. Calculations of band s...
متن کاملOn cascades of resonators for high-bandwidth integrated optical interconnection networks.
The power penalty characteristics of high-speed optical signals transmitted through a variety of filters based on multiple microring resonator devices are analyzed by numerical simulation. The technique used here has been verified with single-ring experimental measurements. Butterworth and Chebyshev filters are investigated, as are serial cascades of resonant devices. Although the power penalty...
