Effect of ring spacing on spectral response of parallel-cascaded microring resonator arrays

In terms of the coupled mode theory and transfer matrix technique, novel formulas of the amplitude coupling ratio and transfer functions are presented for a parallel-cascaded microring resonator array (PCMRR). By using these formulas, effects of structural parameters, especially the ring spacing, on the spectral response are analyzed for this kind of polymer device. The box-like spectral response is successfully obtained due to the proper selection of the ring spacing, amplitude coupling ratio and the number of rings.     

Entangled photon generation in a nonlinear microring resonator for birefringence-based sensing applications

This paper proposes a new concept of birefringence-based sensor using the entangled photon timing walk-off compensation. The superposition of nonlinear light known as four-wave mixing is introduced by the Kerr nonlinear effects type within the ring device. The possible two entangled photon pairs are randomly generated using the polarization control unit. Results obtained have shown that the entangled state walk-off of light traveling within the ring device can be compensated. This means the changes in walk-off parameters can be relatively measured to the changes in the applied physical parameters. The potential of using such a proposed system for birefringence-based sensor applications is plausible and discussed.

A controllable coupling structure for silicon microring resonators based on adiabatic elimination

Optical microring resonators are extensively employed in a wide range of physical studies and applications due to the resonance enhancement property.Incorporating coupling control of a microring resonator is necessary in many scenarios,but modifications are essentially added to the resonator and impair the capability of optical enhancement.Here,we propose a flexible coupling structure based on adiabatic elimination that allows low-loss active coupling control without any modifications to the resonators.The self-coupling coefficient can be monotonically or non-monotonically controllable by the proposed coupler,potentially at a high speed.The characteristic of the coupler when implemented in silicon microring resonators is investigated in detail using substantiated analytical theory and experiments.This work provides a general method in coupling control while ensuring the resonance enhancement property,making active coupling control in a resonator-waveguide system feasible.

Proposal and realization for a broadband all-fiber non-uniformly spaced multi-channel optical filter

In this paper, we propose a broadband all-fiber non-uniformly spaced multi-channel optical filter, which is based on the utilization of paired multi-channel fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) located at two arms of an interferometer. Unlike the traditional optical comb filter, the channel spacing may be either linearly or nonlinearly chirped. Serving as an example, two identical linearly-chirped 51-channel FBGs have been successfully employed to demonstrate the proposed filter experimentally.

Analysis of temperature dependence for a ratiometric wavelength measurement system using SMS fiber structure based edge filters

Temperature dependence of an edge filter based on singlemode-multimode-singlemode (SMS) fiber structure is investigated numerically and experimentally. The experimental results and numerical results are in good agreement within an operational temperature range from 10 °C to 40 °C. It is found that the thermo-optic coefficient (TOC) has a more significant effect on the temperature dependence of an SMS edge filter compared to the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC). In the ratiometric wavelength measurement using two SMS edge filters, a small temperature variation can induce the ratio variation and in turn the wavelength measurement error. It is found the SMS edge filter’s response to both wavelength and temperature is linear. It is proposed that self-monitoring of temperature can be carried out using an updated ratiometric scheme. Self-monitoring of the temperature reduces temperature induced wavelength error to ±0.7 pm at 1545 nm, regardless of the ambient temperature variation.     

A Novel Dispersionless Comb Gain Equalizer for Fiber-Optical Parametric Amplifier

In this article, we propose a novel superstructure fiber Bragg grating (SFBG)-based comb gain equalizer for fiber-optical parametric amplifiers (FOPAs). The target spectrum of the gain equalizer is obtained by two steps. Initially, we calculate the spectrum according to the inverse of the gain spectrum of the FOPA. Then we apply a channel-by-channel windowing method to shape each channel and adopt a Gaussian hypergeometric function to describe the rising and descending edges of each channel. The SFBG is finally synthesized with layer-peeling inverse scattering technique. Using the designed SFBG, the gain variation of the FOPA is flattened to be within ±0.4 dB for 16 ITU channels and the best channel isolation is as high as 35 dB. It should be pointed out that the proposed method could also be used to design gain equalizers for other optical amplifiers.
