Generalized optical filters using a nonlinear micro ring resonator system

We present the interesting results of nonlinear behaviors of a soliton pulse within a nonlinear micro ring resonator system, where the optical filter characteristics in terms of frequency, wavelength and time can be functioned by using the chaotic filter within the micro ring resonator system. There are three forms of applications using the chaotic soliton behaviors and optical filter characteristics presented. Firstly, the simultaneous up-link and down-link frequency bands can be filtered and the required frequency bands obtained. Secondly, we propose the simple system of an extremely narrow light pulse generation over the spectrum range, where the required wavelengths can be filtered and obtained. Finally, a simple system of fast light generation by using a soliton pulse circulating in the integrated micro ring devices is proposed. Using such a system, an attosecond pulse and beyond can be easily filtered and obtained.
