Abstract
We study the properties of finite-length all-pass side-coupled microring delay lines optimized using a
genetic algorithm. The average bandwidth-group delay product is found to follow a linear growth with the number of
cascaded stages
$N$
. Both the magnitude and the slope of the figure
of merit vary with the specific optimization criteria but, for all the cases addressed, they are below the unit slope
linear dependence with
$N$
of a theoretical upper bound.
