All-optical nonlinear switching in GaAs-AlGaAs microring resonators

In this paper, we demonstrate all-optical nonlinear switching in compact GaAs-AlGaAs microring resonators at the 1.55-μm wavelength. Switching is accomplished in the pump-and-probe configuration in which the pump-and-probe signals are tuned to different resonance wavelengths of the microring. Refractive index change in the microring due to free carriers generated by two photon absorption is used to switch the probe beam in and out of resonance. Measured transient responses of the pump and probe through the microring show good agreement with theoretical predictions based on nonlinear pump-probe interaction due to two photon absorption

Silicon-on-Insulator Microring Add-Drop Filters With Free Spectral Ranges Over 30 nm

We demonstrate highly compact optical add-drop filters based on silicon-on-insulator microring resonators. The microring resonators have a small radius of 2.5 mum and a very large free spectral range ~ 32 nm at the 1.55 mum communication band. The propagation loss in such small micoring resonators was experimentally determined and shown to be extremely important in designing microring add-drop filters with low add-drop crosstalk, low drop loss, and maximally flat drop passband. For box-like channel dropping responses, second-order optical add-drop filters with two coupled microring resonators are designed and demonstrated, and the simulation matches well with the experiment. Devices were patterned with electron-beam lithography. Two fabrication procedures utilizing different polarity of resists were introduced and compared, and the process with negative resist resulted in much smaller sidewall roughness of waveguides, thus reducing the propagation loss in microring resonators.

Synthesis of Elliptic Optical Filters Using Mutually Coupled Microring Resonators

Integrated optical filters having elliptic transfer functions are proposed using two-dimensional arrays of synchronously tuned mutually coupled microring resonators. Analysis of microring filter topologies of the most general form is facilitated by the formulation of an energy-coupling matrix for the microring array. A method for synthesizing elliptic microring filter transfer functions having the prescribed transmission poles and zeros is also presented. The approach involves representing the microring filter by an equivalent electrical network of coupled LC oscillators and applying the coupling matrix technique developed for micro-wave filters to determine the coupling parameters. An example of a sixth-order elliptic function filter is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of using mutually coupled microring resonators to realize optical filters having finite transmission zeros in the transfer function     

InGaAsP-InP nanoscale waveguide-coupled microring lasers with submilliampere threshold current using Cl/sub 2/--N/sub 2/-based high-density plasma etching

We demonstrate InGaAsP-InP nanoscale waveguide-coupled microring lasers fabricated with inductively coupled plasma (ICP) using Cl/sub 2/--N/sub 2/-based gas mixtures. To fabricate optical waveguides, the requirement of anisotropic profiles and sidewall smoothness is stringent. In particular, for strongly lateral confined nanoscale waveguides used for microring resonators, the degree of anisotropy and sidewall smoothness is critical in determining the device performance. For optoelectronic devices such as microcylinder and microring lasers, the requirement of low active-layer damage further adds to the stringency. We show that the excellent etching property of high-density plasma using Cl/sub 2/--N/sub 2/-based gas mixtures satisfies the requirements. The good etching results are demonstrated by using the etching method to realize room-temperature operations of the InGaAsP-InP waveguide-coupled microring lasers. For the waveguide-coupled microring lasers with a diameter of 10 /spl mu/m, we obtained submilliampere threshold current.
