- We experimentally demonstrate all-optical wavelength conversions in a 10 mu m radius resonance-split silicon microring resonator based on free carrier dispersion effect. The split resonance is caused by the mutual coupling between the two countertraveling modes inside the ring resonator. Dense wavelength conversions are performed at data rates from 500 Mbytes/s to 5 Gbytes/s and a dual-channel wavelength multicasting is realized at a data rate of 1.25 Gbytes/s. The resonance splitting phenomenon opens up opportunities to convert more closely spaced wavelengths, thus effectively increasing the system capacity.

- We theoretically study the group-delay characteristics of a silicon microring resonator based on the coupled mode theory, and experimentally demonstrate error-free operations of an on-chip delay line using a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) microring resonator with a 20-mu m radius. Four signals of different modulation formats are examined at 5 Gb/s, including return-to-zero (RZ), carrier-suppressed return-to-zero (CSRZ), return-to-zero duobinary (RZ-DB), and return-to-zero alternate-mark-inversion (RZ-AMI). Bit error rate (BER) measurements show that the maximal delay times with error-free operations are 80,95, 110, and 65 ps, respectively, corresponding to a fractional group delay of similar to 0.4, similar to 0.5, similar to 0.55, and similar to 0.35. The differences in delay and signal degradations have been investigated based on the signal spectra and pattern dependences. Although the delays are demonstrated in a single ring resonator, the analysis is applicable in slow-light resonance structures such as all-pass filters (APF) and coupled resonator optical waveguides (CROW).

- We propose an ultracompact parallel label-free biosensor based on concentric silicon-on-insulator microring resonators. Our numerical studies show that the proposed biosensor offers higher sensitivity and a larger detection area than conventional single-ring-based sensors. We analyze the detection sensitivity of the DNA hybridization by immobilizing the probe on top of the double concentric ring resonators and in the ring-ring air gap. For a concentric double-ring system with an area of 27: 646 mu m(2), the bulk detection sensitivity is 683 nm RIU-1. The sensitive uniformity of the system related to the optical field distribution is also studied.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We propose and experimentally demonstrate a temporal differentiator in optical field based on a silicon microring resonator with a radius of 40 mu m. The microring resonator operates near the critical coupling region, and can take the first order derivative of the optical field. It features compact size thus is suitable for integration with silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based optical and electronic devices. The performance of this optical differentiator is tested using signals with typical shapes such as Gaussian, sinusoidal and square-like pulses at data rates of 10 Gb/s and 5 Gb/s.

- We experimentally demonstrate optically tunable delay fine in a silicon microring resonator with a 20-mu m radius. The delay-tuning mechanism is based on the red shift of the resonance induced by thermal nonlinear effect. We investigate the delay performance of three modulation formats-non-return-to-zero (NRZ), return-to-zero (RZ), and differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) signals at different data rates. Tunable delay is achieved by controlling the power of the continuous-wave (CW) pump with very low tuning threshold, which could be used in microring-resonator-based slow-light structure.

All-optical format conversions from NRZ to BPSK and QPSK based on nonlinear responses in silicon microring resonators
- 2007

Ingår i: Optics Express. - 1094-4087. ; 15:21, s. 14275-14282

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We propose and numerically verify a novel scheme of all-optical format conversion from non-return-to-zero (NRZ) to binary phase-shift-keying (BPSK) at 160 Gb/s using cascaded microring resonators (CMRR) on a single silicon chip. The conversion is based on large phase shift and flattened intensity-response characteristics in the CMRR. A continuous-wave light experiences different phase shifts controlled by the power of an input NRZ signal with an similar to 8.8-dB extinction ratio, while maintaining approximately the constant intensity. All-optical format conversion from NRZ to quadrature phase-shift-keying (QPSK) is also demonstrated based on parallel NRZ/BPSK converters in a Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure.

Modeling of quasi-grating sidewall corrugation in SOI microring add-drop filters
- 2009

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We build a model to study the sidewall corrugation of fabricated silicon microrings and investigate its impact on the spectral response of the resonator system. From the scanning electron microscope images, the sidewall corrugation can be engineered into certain periodicity and characterized into a group of rectangular gratings, or quasi-gratings, which in turn generate mutual mode coupling between the forward- and backward-propagating modes in the ring and lead to resonance splitting. We find that the reflectivity of the quasi-gratings is proportional to the mutual coupling strength and the resonance splitting only occurs at the resonances where high reflectivity takes place. The model agrees well with the experimental measurements and provides some guideline in applying mutual mode coupling for various functions in the field of optics.
