Abstract

A passive ring-assisted Mach-Zehnder interferometer optical interleaver comprising a Y-bench, a 3-dB directional coupler, a ring-resonator, and a delay line is proposed. The interleaver is fabricated with 300 nm×300 nm silicon wires on silicon-on-insulator. The fabricated interleaver demonstrates a flat-top spectral response. The measured free-spectral range is ~4 nm, the insertion loss is ~-8 dB, and the crosstalk is <-10dB. Both the experimental and simulation results are in good agreement.
