All-optical compact silicon comb switch.
We demonstrate a 1x2 all-optical comb switch using a 200 mum diameter silicon ring resonator with a switching time of less than 1 ns. The switch overcomes the small bandwidth of the traditional ring resonator, and works for wavelength division multiplexing applications. The device has a footprint of ~0.04 mm(2) and enables switching of a large number (~40) of wavelength channels spaced by ~0.85...
متن کاملCompact, Tunable Optical Devices in Silicon-Oxynitride Waveguide Technology
We present an optical waveguide technology for low-loss, compact and tunable planar integrated optical devices. Examples of devices realized in this technology include finite and infinite impulse response (FIR and IIR) filters and optical switches. © 1999 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices, (130.3130) Integrated optics materials
متن کاملDevelopment of A Compact and Low Profile Cavity Backed Slot Antenna Using Microstrip Gap Waveguide Technology
Proof of concept of a cavity backed slot antenna based on inverted microstrip gap waveguide (IMGW) technology is presented. Since the antenna is operating based on the first resonating mode of the cavity, it is more compact compared to the ordinary cavity backed slot antennas in which the second cavity mode is used for radiation. Furthermore, the proposed antenna element introduces lower lo...
متن کاملLow loss coupler to interface silicon waveguide and hybrid plasmonic waveguide
A metallic coupler is proposed to interface a silicon on insulator (SOI) waveguide with a narrow hybrid plasmonic waveguide (200× 200 nm). The device operation is investigated and optimized to attain the best tradeoff between the mode confinement and the propagation loss. Calculations reveal that a high confinement and low loss of the energy is achieved from a silicon slab waveguide into the di...
متن کاملUltracompact and low-power optical switch based on silicon photonic crystals.
Switching light is one of the most fundamental functions of an optical circuit. As such, optical switches are a major research topic in photonics, and many types of switches have been realized. Most optical switches operate by imposing a phase shift between two sections of the device to direct light from one port to another, or to switch it on and off, the major constraint being that typical re...
