Variable bandwidth of dynamic add-drop filters based on coupling-controlled microdisk resonators.

چکیده
Dynamic add-drop filters with variable bandwidth are demonstrated on microelectromechanical-system (MEMS)-actuated microdisk resonators for what is believed to be the first time. The tuning mechanism is based on a variable power coupling ratio that is controlled by varying the gap spacing between the waveguide and the microdisk through MEMS actuators. The results show wavelength switching with an extinction ratio of 20 dB and a tunable bandwidth ranging from 12 to 27 GHz. These dual functions were realized using the device with the operation voltage varying between 0 and 35 V.

Add-Drop and Channel-Drop Optical Filters Based on Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators
Here, we propose an add-drop and a channel drop filter based on two-dimensional photonic crystal all circular ring resonators. These structures are made of a square lattice of silicon rods with the refractive index n1=3.464 surrounded by air (with refractive index n2=1). The broadest photonic band gap occurs at the filling ratio of r/a = 0.17. Two linear defect W1 waveguides couple to the ring....

متن کاملBandwidth-tunable add-drop filters based on micro-electro-mechanical-system actuated silicon microtoroidal resonators.
A bandwidth-tunable filter has been demonstrated based on a micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) actuated single-crystalline silicon microtoroidal resonator. Bandwidth is tuned from 2.8 to 78.4 GHz by voltage control, the largest bandwidth tuning range reported to date to our knowledge in resonator-based filters. A 21.8 dB extinction ratio is attained as a dynamic add-drop filter.
