Polymer Microring Coupled-Resonator Optical Waveguides

Abstract

We present measurements of the transmission and dispersion properties of coupled-resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) consisting of weakly coupled polymer microring resonators. The fabrication and the measurement methods of the CROWs are discussed as well. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical loss, waveguide dispersion, group delay, group velocity, and group-velocity dispersion (GVD). The intrinsic quality factors of the microrings were about 1.5 × 10<sup>4</sup> to 1.8 × 10<sup>4</sup>, and group delays greater than 100 ps were measured with a GVD between -70 and 100 ps/(nm · resonator). With clear and simple spectral responses and without a need for the tuning of the resonators, the polymer microring CROWs demonstrate the practicability of using a large number of microresonators to control the propagation of optical waves.
