چکیده
Two reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers, operating in the second or third telecom window, as well as a 1x4x4 reconfigurable lambda-router operating in the second telecom window, are demonstrated. The devices have a footprint less than 2 mm(2) and are based on thermally tunable vertically coupled microring resonators fabricated in Si(3)N(4)/SiO(2).

Densely integrated photonic devices based on microring resonators for use in access networks
A reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer as well as a 1x4x4 reconfigurable λ router, designed for use in the second telecom window, are demonstrated. The devices that each have a footprint less than 2 mm are based on thermally tunable vertically coupled microring resonators fabricated in Si3N4/SiO2.
متن کاملMultiple-wavelength integrated photonic networks based on microring resonator devices
Microring resonator devices implemented on silicon and silicon-on-insulator substrates have a unique potential to be used in high-bandwidth multiplewavelength integrated photonic networks. A scheme for the wavelength allocation is proposed, and its feasibility is verified experimentally. The important system-level trade-offs that result from the proposed scheme, including those among bandwidth,...
متن کاملDensely Integrated Photonic Devices based on Microring Resonators in Access Networks
The application of optical fibers has led to virtually lossless point to point data links in the core network with practically unlimited bandwidth. In response to increasing bandwidth demands of consumers the optical techniques employed in these networks are now gradually extended towards the consumers premises. At the access network level, where equipment is shared by a few users at the most, ...
متن کاملOn cascades of resonators for high-bandwidth integrated optical interconnection networks.
The power penalty characteristics of high-speed optical signals transmitted through a variety of filters based on multiple microring resonator devices are analyzed by numerical simulation. The technique used here has been verified with single-ring experimental measurements. Butterworth and Chebyshev filters are investigated, as are serial cascades of resonant devices. Although the power penalty...
متن کاملOrganic printed photonics: From microring lasers to integrated circuits.
A photonic integrated circuit (PIC) is the optical analogy of an electronic loop in which photons are signal carriers with high transport speed and parallel processing capability. Besides the most frequently demonstrated silicon-based circuits, PICs require a variety of materials for light generation, processing, modulation, and detection. With their diversity and flexibility, organic molecular...
