The principle, fabrication and characterization of a dielectric MEMS cantilever located a few 100 nm above a racetrack ring resonator are presented. After fabrication of the resonators on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers in a foundry process, the cantilevers were integrated by surface micromachining techniques. Off-state deflections of the cantilevers have been optimized to appropriately posit...

This paper addresses a modified bandpass ring resonator filter providing compact size, low insertion-loss, wide bandwidth, sharp rejection and suppressed higher order modes. The filter enhancement follows a threefold approach. First, UC-PBG structures are used to suppress the higher order passbands yielding an upper stopband that reaches 4.7 GHz, beside offering a further advantage in terms of ...

Recently, low threshold Raman silicon lasers based on ring resonator architecture have been demonstrated. One of the key elements of the laser cavity is the directional coupler that couples both pump and signal light in and out of the ring resonator from the bus waveguide. The coupling coefficients are crucial for achieving desired laser performance. In this paper, we report design, fabrication...

A ring resonator is patterned on a porous silicon slab waveguide to produce a compact, high quality factor biosensor with a large internal surface area available for enhanced recognition of biological and chemical molecules. The porous nature of the ring resonator allows molecules to directly interact with the guided mode. Quality factors near 10,000 were measured for porous silicon ring resona...

The properties of artificial isotropic microwave composites which would possess simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability are studied theoretically. Four kinds of composites are considered. Two of them concern media with split-ring resonator particles with different particle arrangements. The other two are realized with Omega particles. An analytical antenna model of the electromagn...

In this paper, an artificial neural network model is proposed to find out the resonant frequency of a metamaterial based Hexagonal Split Ring Resonator (SRR). The main advantage of Hexagonal SRR is small electrical size at resonance (electrically small) in the microwave regime. The method can be used for a wide range of different depending parameters (effective radius of the Hexagonal ring, spl...

In this paper we proposed anovel multiband delay line which consists of two types of split-ring resonators: the broadiside coupled and the single split-ring resonator. Proposeddelay line exhibits two left-handed bands that can be shifted by twisting the split rings for certain angle or by changing their lengths. This delay line is suitable for design of multiband frequency scanning antennas sin...

A complete analysis of the eigenstate of polarization (ESOP’s) in a Brillouin fiber ring laser using fibers with a high circular birefringence is proposed in this paper. Conditions to obtain circular ESOP’s for application in a Brillouin fiber optic current sensor are highlighted as well as conditions to have stable ESOP’s for applications in other passive or active sensors. Measurements are pe...

A frequency tunable ring dielectric resonator antenna is presented in the paper. Advantages of the proposed antenna design are the wide range of adjustments and increasing of the radiation efficiency. The basic antenna characteristics, and also analysis of dependencies of the antenna’s central operating frequency, voltage standing wave ratio and radiation pattern versus the relative position of...

Compared to the conventional strip waveguide microring resonators, subwavelength grating (SWG) waveguide microring resonators have better sensitivity and lower detection limit due to the enhanced photon-analyte interaction. As sensors, especially biosensors, are usually used in absorptive ambient environment, it is very challenging to further improve the detection limit of the SWG ring resonato...
