Abstract

Rigorous simulations of bent and branched sections of coupled resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) composed of side-coupled whispering gallery (WG) mode microdisks are performed. Pre- and post-fabrication tuning capability of the designed structures is explored, and a novel concept of realization of tunable CROW-based routers and switches is introduced. The proposed tuning mechanism exploits the properties of CROW optical modes coupling with avoided crossing scenario rather than the previously used Vernier effect. Applications of spectrally-engineered branched CROW structures for controllable manipulation of coupling between spatially separated nano-emitters are also discussed.

Fig. 1. Splitting of WG12, 1 modes in a straight CROW section composed of 7 microdisks of 2.8-µm diameters with the decrease of the inter-cavity airgap width w: (a) shift of resonant wavelengths and (b) degradation of the mode Q-factors. Near-field portraits of two blue-shifted anti-bonding modes (EE-mode, black dashed line in Figs. 1(a,b) and OO-mode, black solid line in Figs. 1(a,b)) are plotted in Figs. 1(c) and 1(d), respectively (w=100 nm).

Fig. 2. Variations of the resonant wavelengths (a) and Q-factors (b) of the EE (blue lines) and OO (red lines) anti-bonding CROW modes with the change of the CROW bend angle from 0 to 90 degrees. The CROW consists of the microdisks with the same parameters as those in Fig. 1 coupled via 100-nm airgaps. The inset shows a sketch of the bent CROW section. The bend angle is measured from the x axis. The field patterns of the EE mode (c) and OO mode (d) in the bend region correspond to the bend angle of 62 degrees.
