Dynamics of microring resonator modulators.
A dynamic model for the transmission of a microring modulator based on changes in the refractive index, loss, or waveguide-ring coupling strength is derived to investigate the limitations to the intensity modulation bandwidth. Modulation bandwidths approaching the free spectral range frequency are possible if the waveguide-ring coupling strength is varied, rather than the refractive index or lo...
متن کاملMaximally Confined Silicon Microring and Microdisk Modulators and Switches
Silicon resonant microdisk and microring modulators and switches based on free-carrier depletion and injection were designed and fabricated with the aim of minimizing device radius to theoretical bend-radiation imposed limits. Minimizing device area serves to simultaneously maximize resonator free-spectral-range, minimize switching energy, and maximize component density, all critical parameters...
متن کاملSilicon Photonics Research in Hong Kong: Microresonator Devices and Optical Nonlinearities
In this review paper we showcase recent activities on silicon photonics science and technology research in Hong Kong regarding two important topical areas — microresonator devices and optical nonlinearities. Our work on silicon microresonator filters, switches and modulators have shown promise for the nascent development of on-chip optoelectronic signal processing systems, while our studies on ...
متن کاملPassive microring-resonator-coupled lasers
In this letter, a passive microring-resonator-coupled semiconductor laser structure is proposed. The weakly coupled high-Q microring resonator provides a strong mode-selection filter and could considerably extend the effective cavity length of a conventional Fabry–Perot laser. The side-mode suppression ratio, the linewidth and the frequency chirp of this laser are dramatically improved comparin...
متن کاملScaling Laws for MEMS Mirror-Rotation Optical Cross Connect Switches
The design of large-scale mirror-rotation free-space optical cross-connect switches based on arrays of microelectromechanical torsion mirrors is considered. The layout of a compact switch is first presented. The parameters of the Gaussian beam that maximizes the port count for a given mirror turn angle is then identified, and the supporting optical system needed to create the desired beam is de...
