`Slow’ and `fast’ light in resonator-coupled waveguides
We describe a device constructed of a sequence of microresonators coupled to an optical waveguide. The in ̄uence of these resonators is to enhance nonlinearities and to induce strong dispersive e ects, leading to exotic optical properties including slow and superluminal group velocities of propagation. In recent years there has been a ̄urry of activity aimed at the development of techniques tha...
متن کاملDynamics 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 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 کاملIncoherent "slow and fast light".
We show experimentally that the effects of pulse delay and advancement usually ascribed to the "slow and fast light" under conditions of the coherent population oscillations (CPO) can be universally observed with incoherent light fields on objects with the pure-intensity nonlinearity. As a light source, we used an incandescent lamp and as objects for study, a photochromic glass and a thermochro...
متن کاملBiosensing Using Microring Resonator Interferograms
Optical low-coherence interferometry (OLCI) takes advantage of the variation in refractive index in silicon-wire microring resonator (MRR) effective lengths to perform glucose biosensing using MRR interferograms. The MRR quality factor (Q), proportional to the effective length, could be improved using the silicon-wire propagation loss and coupling ratio from the MRR coupler. Our study showed th...
