Theory of nonlinear metamaterials [1] predicted that the hysteresis-type dependence of magnetic permeability on the field intensity may allow dramatic changes of the material properties. As the first step towards creating tunable nonlinear metamaterials we studied dynamic tunability of the magnetic resonance of a single nonlinear split-ring resonator [2] and revealed different tuning regimes of...

We address the trade-offs among delay, loss, and bandwidth in the design of coupled-resonator optical waveguide (CROW) delay lines. We begin by showing the convergence of the transfer matrix, tight-binding, and time domain formalisms in the theoretical analysis of CROWs. From the analytical formalisms we obtain simple, analytical expressions for the achievable delay, loss, bandwidth, and a figu...

We study arrays of silver split-ring resonators operating at around 1.5-µm wavelength coupled to an MBE-grown single 12.7-nm thin InGaAs quantum well separated only 4.8 nm from the wafer surface. The samples are held at liquid-helium temperature and are pumped by intense femtosecond optical pulses at 0.81-µm center wavelength in a pump-probe geometry. We observe much larger relative transmittan...

We present a filter design formalism for the synthesis of coupled-resonator optical waveguide (CROW) filters. This formalism leads to expressions and a methodology for deriving the coupling coefficients of CROWs for the desired filter responses and is based on coupled-mode theory as well as the recursive properties of the coupling matrix. The coupling coefficients are universal and can be appli...

We demonstrate low-loss, single-mode photonic wires in silicon-on-insulator as an enabling technology for future dense photonic integrated circuits. These waveguides are defined with 248nm deep UV lithography and have losses as low as 2.4dB/cm for a width of 500nm at 1550nm wavelength. Bends and directional couplers are fabricated and used to build ring resonators with 5μm radius, Q-factors hig...

We demonstrate that by utilizing displacement currents in simple dielectric resonators instead of conduction currents in metallic split-ring resonators and by additionally exciting the proper modes, left-handed properties can be observed in an array of high dielectric resonators. Theoretical analysis and experimental measurements show that the modes, as well as the subwavelength resonance, play...

Introduction In the last years ring resonators attracted the attention of many researchers, mainly thanks to the selective frequency response, the small dimensions and because they can be exploited as the main building block of an add-drop, a de-multiplexer or even a crossbar matrix. In this contribution the integrated optic crossbar matrix based on ring resonators, named Resonant Router (ReR) ...

We present the first prediction of lateral leakage behavior of the TM-like mode in thin-ridge SOI curved waveguides and ring resonators. A simple phenomenological model is first presented which predicts that the lateral leakage in these structures is significantly impacted by both the ring radius and waveguide width. This prediction is verified using full vectorial mode matching and finite elem...

In this paper, Hexagonal Split Ring Resonator (HSRR) and Square Split Ring Resonator (SSRR) are designed using HFSS simulation software. Both split ring resonators are based on the Metamaterial and same parameters. Then after compare the simulation result of HSRR and SSRR. HFSS simulation of the Hexagonal SRR shows improved Return Loss and VSWR i.e. -44.7 dB and 1 respectively compare to Square...

We demonstrate an integrated nanophotonic network in diamond, consisting of a ring resonator coupled to an optical waveguide with grating in- and outcouplers. Using a nitrogen-vacancy color center embedded inside the ring resonator as a source of photons, single photon generation and routing at room temperature is observed. Furthermore, we observe a large overall photon extraction efficiency (1...
