We study the nonlinear phase response of a microring resonator coupled to a bus waveguide and the use of this nonlinear phase
shift to store information in the microring resonator and enhance the switching characteristics of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer
(MZI). By introducing coupling between adjacent microring resonators, the switching characteristics of the MZI can be exponentially
enhanced as a function of the number of microring resonators, when compared to the linear enhancement for uncoupled resonators.
With only a few moderate-finesse microring resonators, the switching power can be reduced to attowatt level, allowing for
photonic switching devices that operate at single-photon level in ordinary optical waveguides.

We measured the transmission and group delay of microring coupled-resonator optical waveguides (CROWs). The CROWs consisted of 12 weakly coupled, microring resonators fabricated in optical polymers (PMMA on Cytop). The intrinsic quality factor of the resonators was 18,000 and the interresonator coupling was 1%, resulting in a delay of 110-140 ps and a slowing factor of 23-29 over a 17 GHz bandwidth. 相似文献

Optical resonators are important devices that control the properties of light and manipulate light–matter interaction. Various optical resonators are designed and fabricated using different techniques. For example, in coupled resonator optical waveguides, light energy is transported to other resonators through near‐field coupling. In recent years, magnetic optical resonators based on LC resonance have been realized in several metallic microstructures. Such devices possess stronger local resonance and lower radiation loss compared with electric optical resonators. This study provides an overall introduction on the latest progress in coupled magnetic resonator optical waveguide (CMROW). Various waveguides composed of different magnetic resonators are presented and Lagrangian formalism is used to describe the CMROW. Moreover, several interesting properties of CMROWs, such as abnormal dispersions and slow‐light effects, are discussed and CMROW applications in nonlinear and quantum optics are shown. Future novel nanophotonic devices can be developed using CMROWs. 相似文献

In this paper, slotted microcavity ring resonators based optical storage devices are proposed and analyzed by means of multiresolution time domain technique. The effect of the structure geometrical parameters on the coupling efficiency, normalized transmission spectra and quality factor has been thoroughly investigated and compared to that of the conventional no-slot microring resonator. The suggested slotted configurations increase the quality factor at a fixed gap size between the central ring and input/output waveguides. In addition, the desired compromise between the coupling efficiency and resonance effect inside the ring can be achieved by mere optimization of the slot geometrical characteristics. 相似文献

In experiment, characteristics of silicon microring/racetrack resonators in submicron rib waveguides have been systematically investigated. It is demonstrated that only a transverse-electric mode is guided for a ratio of slab height to rib height h/H = 0.5. Thus, these microring/racetrack resonators can only function for quasi-transverse-electric mode, while they get rid of transverse-magnetic polarization. Electron beam lithography and inductively coupled plasma etching were employed and improved to reduce sidewall roughness for low propagation loss and high performance resonators. Then, the effects of waveguide dimensions, coupling region design, waveguide roughness, and oxide cladding for the resonators have been considered and analyzed. 相似文献

A general method based on the predistortion technique is presented for determining the optimum coupling parameters of multiple-coupled microring filters in the presence of known uniform resonator loss. The technique involves predistorting the filter transfer function by shifting its poles and zeros to compensate for loss in the microring resonators due to material absorption, surface roughness scattering, coupling loss and bending loss. It is shown that by sacrificing some in-band insertion loss, both the amplitude and group delay responses of the filter can be recovered when loss is present. Application of the method to synthesizing lossy microring filters in both the digital z-domain and analog s-domain will be presented. The proposed technique is general in that it can be applied to both amplitude and phase filters constructed of coupled microresonators in the most general two-dimensional coupling topology. 相似文献

A circular array consisting of an odd number of microring resonators is a dual-mode reflection filter. Based on the photonic energy band of a coupled microring resonator string and the resonant condition of the circular array, reflection characteristics of the circular array filter are discussed in detail. The parameters that influence the reflection characteristics and their effect mechanisms are demonstrated. The critical coupling phenomenon and its condition are revealed. We also show that the existence of loss in the rings can suppress split peaks and subsequently flatten the reflection spectrum to the whole pass band. Our work illuminates the application potential of a circular array of an odd number of microring resonators as an integrated photonics reflection filter. 相似文献

We have constructed and characterized several optical microring resonators with scale sizes of the order of 10 microm. These devices are intended to serve as building blocks for engineerable linear and nonlinear photonic media. Light is guided vertically by an epitaxially grown structure and transversely by deeply etched air-clad sidewalls. We report on the spectral phase transfer characteristics of such resonators. We also report the observation of a pi-rad Kerr nonlinear phase shift accumulated in a single compact ring resonator evidenced by all-optical switching between output ports of a resonator-enhanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer. 相似文献

The high degree of intensity values in microring resonators needs a careful treatment of nonlinear phenomena. Nonlinear effects are analyzed in coupling problem of ring-ring directional couplers. It has been observed that the nonlinearity affects the coupling device dramatically, and can be used as controlling techniques in such as coupled resonator optical waveguides. 相似文献

We propose a new type of optical resonator that consists of embedded ring resonators (ERRs). The resonators exhibit unique amplitude and phase characteristics and allow designing compact filters, modulators, and delay elements. A basic configuration of the ERRs with two rings coupled in a point-to-point manner is discussed under two operating conditions. An ERR-based microring modulator shows a high operation speed up to 30 GHz. ERRs with distributed coupling are briefly described as well. 相似文献

We propose and demonstrate a directed optical decoder that can perform the decoding function from a two-bit electrical signal to a four-bit optical signal based on two cascaded microring resonators. We use two electrical signals regarded as a two-bit electrical signal to modulate the two microring resonators through the thermo-optic effect and four optical signals regarded as a four-bit optical signal appear at the output ports, respectively. The device operating at 10?kbps is demonstrated. 相似文献

As the complexity of microphotonic devices grows, the ability to precisely trim microring resonators becomes increasingly important. Photo-oxidation trimming uses UV irradiation to oxidize a cladding layer composed of polymerized hexamethyldisilane (6M2S) deposited with plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). PECVD 6M2S has optical properties that are compatible with microring devices, and its high cross linking renders it insoluble. Photo-oxidation decreases the refractive index of PECVD 6M2S by nearly 4%, permitting large resonance shifts that are not feasible with thermal trimming techniques. Resonance shifts from single-mode, 100 microm diameter Si3N4 (n =2.2) rings were as large as 12.8 nm for the TE mode and 23.5 nm for the TM mode. 相似文献

This paper derives the dispersion relation of microring
coupled-resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) without any
approximation by using the transfer matrix method. Based on the
established dispersion relation of CROWs it obtains the slow group
velocity and dispersion coefficient. It finds that the effect of
dispersion on optical pulses can be adjusted to balance the effect
of nonlinearity by changing coupling coefficient or loss, so optical
soliton with group delay can be obtained in microring CROWs. The
optical soliton with group delay is of great significance for
applications of microring CROWs in delay lines and optical buffers
of future all-optical communication systems. 相似文献

Design and evaluation of an arbitration-free passive optical crossbar for on-chip interconnection networks 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

With recent advances in silicon nanophotonics, optical crossbars based on CMOS-compatible microring resonators have emerged
as viable on-chip optical interconnection networks to deliver high-bandwidth communication at low power dissipation with a
small footprint. This paper describes the design, fabrication and evaluation of an arbitration-free passive crossbar based
on a microring resonator matrix that can be used to route wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) signals across the chip.
The salient feature of the proposed design is the ability to support multicasting and many-to-one communication efficiently
(without arbitration), which makes it suitable for implementing cache coherency protocols and on-chip interconnect in future
many-core processors. 相似文献

We propose an interesting result on fast and slow light generation using nonlinear microring resonators. When a soliton pulse is generated within the first ring resonator, the specific signals can be generated using the chaotic filter characteristics of light pulses travelling within the microring devices. We have demonstrated that two different frequency bands can be generated and they are suitable for use in optical wireless links. The other application of fast and slow lights is also presented, whereas signal security can be formed using the add/drop device to retrieve the original signal from the chaotic noisy signals. The key advantage is that the original signal can be kept in secret without any tapping due to the problem of fast light pulses and noisy signals, which are difficult to intercept. 相似文献
