Effects of side-coupling on the phase response of cascaded microring all-pass filters
نویسندگان
چکیده
All-pass filters are useful devices that allow phase correction or equalization of signal without introducing any amplitude distortion. We present a new design scheme in which a grating is introduced in the interaction region of the two adjacent microrings in a cascaded multiring structure. The analysis accounts for the counter-directional coupling between the two waveguides. Theoretical analysis shows that this side-coupling can effectively double the filter order thus either give better performance with the same filter order or decrease the filter dimensions with the same performance. 2003 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملDesign and realization of a two-stage microring ladder filter in silicon-on-insulator.
We report the design and experimental realization of a new type of microring filters consisting of two parallel-cascaded microring doublets connected by a π-phase shift element. Interference between the two second-order microring stages gave rise to a fourth-order filter response with flat-top passband and a bandwidth of 100 GHz. The result demonstrates the feasibility of realizing advanced int...
متن کاملImproved optical filter responses in cascaded InGaAsP/InP microdisk resonators
Waveguide-coupled microdisk and microring resonators as optical filters have been of great interest due to their high wavelength selectivity and ultra-compact sizes [1 – 4]. Recently, higher-order filters based on microring resonators with improved performances have been demonstrated in compound glass and AlGaAs/GaAs material systems [3, 4]. These higher-order filters show steeper rolloffs and ...
