Abstract

Here, we report on the design, fabrication and characterization of single-channel (SC-) and dual-channel (DC-) side-coupled integrated spaced sequences of optical resonators (SCISSOR) with a finite number (eight) of microring resonators using submicron silicon photonic wires on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer. We present results on the observation of multiple resonances in the through and the drop port signals of DC-SCISSOR. These result from the coupled resonator induced transparency (CRIT) which appears when the resonator band (RB) and the Bragg band (BB) are nearly coincident. We also observe the formation of high-Q (> 23000) quasi-localized modes in the RB of the drop transmission which appear when the RB and BB are well separated from each other. These multiple resonances and quasi-localized modes are induced by nanometer-scale structural disorders in the dimension of one or more rings. Finally, we demonstrate the tunability of RB (and BB) and localized modes in the DC-SCISSOR by thermo-optical or free-carrier refraction.

Schematic diagram of the experimental set-up. The labels refer to the tunable laser (TL), the single-mode fiber (SMF), the tapered fiber (TF), the polarizer (P), the analyzer (A), the Germanium detector (Ge) and the infrared camera (IR). The actual designs of SCISSOR devices are reported on the bottom. The laser beam is coupled into the input (I) port divided by an MMI splitter(1X2) to a reference (Ref) channel and to the SCISSOR input port. Two output ports are used to measure the transmission signals for the through(T) and the drop(D) channels.

Measured optical response of SCISSOR structure with eight microrings. (a) Transmission spectra in the through(T) port of the SC-SCISSOR (blue curve) and the DC-SCISSOR (black curve) compared with the simulations (red dashed-line) for DC-SCISSOR. (b) Transmission in the drop(D) port (black line) and simulation result (red dashed-line). Note that intensities in through(T) and drop(D) ports were normalized to the intensity in the reference(Ref) port.

Fine resolution spectra of bands ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’ and ‘E’ (for labels refer to Fig.3a). Panels in columns 1, 2, and 3 represent transmission signals in through (T), drop (D) ports and out-of-plane scattering (V, spatially integrated), respectively. Black (solid) and red (dashed) curves are experimental and simulation results, respectively. The vertical scattering spectra are normalized to the maximum value while the simulation data are obtained by using the relation (1 – |T| − |D|). Hence their comparison is only qualitative.

Snapshots obtained from an IR camera placed over the top of the sample and shown for three distinct spectral peaks at 1557.86nm, 1558.65nm, and 1560.11nm for images (a), (b), (c), respectively, in the response of drop(red)/out-of-plane scattered light(blue line) for band labelled ‘D’(Media 1). For the sake of clarity, the images are outlined (in white line) with microrings and waveguides of the SCISSOR. Note that the normalization used for the drop signal is with respect to the reference signal whereas the out-of-plane scattering is normalized to the maximum value in the relevant spectral range.

(b) Simulation results: The transmission in the drop(through) port is shown with solid(dashed) lines and for two different values of the ring radius 6.756 μm (red line) and 6.754 μm (blue line). Inset: Enlarged view of the drop transmission for a gradual change in the ring radius with ΔR decreasing by steps of 0.4nm.

Table 2 Ring radius used in the simulation. R i = R + δ R i is the radius of ith microring determined by the radius R and variation in the radius, δ R i , for the corresponding microring. The value R=6.75μm is used in the simulations. The actual values here reported are suited to reproduce the experimental spectra and are not fitting values.
