We experimentally demonstrate a grating-assisted silicon-on-insulator (SOI) racetrack resonator reflector with a reflect port suppression of 10.3 dB and no free spectral range. We use contra-directional grating couplers within the coupling regions of the racetrack resonator to enable suppression of all but one of the peaks within the reflect port spectrum as well as all but one of the notches within the through port spectrum.

Article Synopsis
- This study compares resonant and non-resonant electro-optical modulator configurations to determine which offers the best modulation amplitude with low drive voltage and broad bandwidth.
- The ring-assisted Mach-Zehnder modulator (RaMZM) stands out for its chirp-free and enhanced modulation capabilities without bandwidth limitations, unlike the racetrack modulator (RTM) which compromises on chirp and bandwidth.
- The RaMZM is identified as a suitable option for network applications needing efficient signal encoding, demonstrated by experiments achieving high modulation rates with minimal voltage requirements.*
The accurate determination of the effective and group refractive indices (n and n) of optical waveguides as a function of wavelength is of critical importance to the design of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). This paper demonstrates the extraction of the two parameters of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) rib waveguides using the transmission spectra of two racetrack micro-ring resonators (MRRs) with different perimeters. The extracted n and n exhibit an uncertainty of approximately 10.

In the filter implementation, an on-chip dual-drive microring resonator (MRR) is a key component. This resonator leverages a multimode waveguide to enable a high Q-factor.

This structure enables a dynamic power-control range of ±15% and locking over >600 s using a proportional-integral control loop.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFExceptional points (EPs) display peculiar degeneracies, where complex eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors coalesce simultaneously, resulting in a defective Hamiltonian. Meanwhile, the negative imaginary part of the energy eigenvalues related to a finite spectral linewidth at the resonant energy, which could provide a solution to tackle the isolation bandwidth limitation of MRR-based optical isolators without sacrificing the insertion loss. Here, a second-order EP system constructed by SiN-based cascaded racetrack resonators is proposed, while the metal strip operating as an integrated electromagnet provides magnetic fields required for non-reciprocal phase shifting (NRPS).
