In this paper, Two Dimensional Photonic Crystals based Add Drop filter (ADF) is designed for DWDM applications. The existing work concentrates in Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing and few filters reported with non-uniform channel spacing, low quality factor. proposed ADF enhances the factor using Rounded Square Ring Resonator (RSRR) ensuring efficient bandwidth supporting WDM systems. des...

We combine the sensitivity advantages of cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) with the versatility of optical fiber sensing technology in a spatially extended passive fiber ring resonator constructed of common telecommunications components. The resonator is characterized with both pulsed and continuous-wave diode laser excitation, and it is shown to be a practical device for direct measurement ...

Figure 1: (A) A standard waveguide ring resonator contains its electromagnetic energy in the waveguides core. Depending on the characteristics of the resonator, specific wavelengths are stored in the ring and not transmitted. (B) When biomolecules are present in the surrounding solution, the evanescent field of the waveguide interacts and the effective refractive index of the resonator changes,...

We have developed a theory that unifies the analysis of the modal properties of surface-emitting chirped circular grating lasers. This theory is based on solving the resonance conditions which involve two types of reflectivities of chirped circular gratings. This approach is shown to be in agreement with previous derivations which use the characteristic equations. Utilizing this unified analysi...

We analyze theoretically the nonlinear phenomenon of optical bistability inside a ring resonator formed with a silicon-waveguide nanowire and derive an exact parametric relation connecting the output intensity to the input intensity. Our input-output relation accounts for linear losses, the Kerr nonlinearity, two-photon absorption, free-carrier-induced absorption and dispersion, and thermo-opti...

We demonstrate a technique for locking the frequency of a tunable diode laser to a ring-cavity resonator. The resonator is stabilized to a diode laser that is in turn locked to an atomic transition in rubidium, thus giving it absolute frequency calibration. The principal advantage of the ring-cavity design is that there is no feedback destabilization of the laser. The cavity has a free-spectral...

A terahertz microscope has been used to excite and observe the resonant modes of a single split ring resonator in the reactive and radiative near-field zones. The two lowest resonant modes of an isolated split ring resonator with their corresponding radiation patterns are reported; they showed good agreement to simulations. The passage from the reactive to radiative near-field zone is also disc...

© 2013 Jung-Nam Lee et al. 1075 http://dx.doi.org/10.4218/etrij.13.0113.0472 This paper describes an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna that uses a ring resonator concept. The proposed antenna can operate in the entire UWB, and the IEEE 802.11a frequency band can be rejected by inserting a notch stub into the ring resonator. The experiment results indicate that the measured impedance bandwidth of the...

The implementation of cavity ring-down spectroscopy in an optical fiber resonator extends the viability of this highly sensitive technique for label-free detection of biological species. By chemically treating the surface of discrete tapered sensing regions along the length of a physically extended optical fiber resonator, we show single-cell sensitivity arising from optical scattering of the e...

A new miniaturized dual-mode microstrip bandpass filter is presented. The filter structure has been fractally generated based on the 4th iteration Minkowski-like pre-fractal geometry, using the conventional dual-mode square ring resonator as the initiator in the fractal generation process. It has been found that the presented filter possesses a size reduction of about 88% as compared with the d...
