Experimental demonstration of a microdisk resonator filter/buffer utilizing two-mode interference.
OPTICS LETTERS(2014)
摘要
We have experimentally demonstrated a microdisk-resonator (MDR)-based filter for filtering and buffering applications utilizing two-mode interference. Optical filtering or buffering behavior can be generated by the coherent interference between two orthogonal whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) in a MDR symmetrically coupled to two bus waveguides. MDRs were fabricated using nanofabrication processes on a silicon-on-insulator platform. Multiple resonances of WGMs are excited in a MDR and unique filter characteristics have been observed for two spectrally nearby resonances. The measured results agree well with the theoretical simulation. Bandpass filtering is achieved with a 3 dB bandwidth of 0.66 nm and an in-band ripple of less than 1 dB when the two resonances are detuned, while the filter can function as an optical buffer with an insertion loss of 5.85 dB and a predicted time delay of 15 ps when the two resonances are approximately aligned. Furthermore, the influence of resonance spacing is analyzed on the performance of this filter. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America
