Compact Photonic Molecules Based On Internally Coupled Microring Resonators

Abstract

We demonstrate compact planar photonic molecules based on multiple ring resonators internally coupled to a larger ring. Spectral engineering is demonstrated where doublets and quadruplets resonances with high Q are obtained due to degeneracy anti-bunching. © OSA 2013.Bertolotti, M., Driessen, A., Michelotti, F., Microresonators as building block for VLSI photonics (2004) American Institute of Physics, , NYBogaerts, W., Silicon microring resonators (2012) Laser Photonics Rev., 6, pp. 47-73Vlasov, Y., McNab, S., Losses in single-mode silicon-on-insulator strip waveguides and bends (2004) Opt.
