چکیده
We demonstrate a distortion free tunable optical delay as long as 135 ps with a 10 GHz bandwidth using thermally tuned silicon microring resonators in the novel balanced configuration. The device is simple, easy to control and compact measuring only 30 µm wide by 250 µm long.

Bandwidth tunable filter based on silicon microring-MZI structure
A novel bandwidth tunable bandpass filter based on a silicon microring-MZI structure is proposed and demonstrated. By thermally tuning the resonance offset between the two microring resonators, and adding the two drop transmissions together, the bandwidth of the microring-MZI filter can be easily linearly tuned with low in-band ripples. Key words—bandwidth tunable; thermal tunable; optical filt...

A novel and simple bandwidth and wavelength-tunable optical bandpass filter based on silicon microrings in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) structure is proposed and demonstrated. In this filter design, the drop transmissions of two microring resonators are combined to provide the desired tunability. A detailed analysis and the design of the device are presented. The shape factor and extinct...

متن کاملUltra-wide band signal generation using a coupling-tunable silicon microring resonator.
Ultra-wide band signal generation using a silicon microring resonator tuned to an NRZ-DPSK modulated optical carrier is proposed and demonstrated. The scheme is shown to enable the generation of UWB signals with switchable polarity and tunable bandwidth by simply tuning the coupling regions of the microring resonator. Monocycle pulses with both negative and positive polarities are successfully ...
متن کاملIntegrated optical add-drop multiplexer using thermally tunable microring resonators
We present a four channel optical add-drop multiplexer based on vertically coupled microring resonators fabricated in Si3N4/SiO2. The device with a Manhattan-like geometry has a footprint of 0.25 mm and can find application in metro-networks. The individual micro-resonators have a 50 μm radius and are thermally tunable over a 4 nm range. The maximum power consumption per ring is 0.5 W. Measurem...
