Cascaded passive silicon microrings for large bandwidth slow light device

摘要：

Slow light devices have important applications in the areas of data buffering, signal processing, and phased array antenna. Cascaded microring resonators structure can obtain large delay and also enhance the bandwidth, which was considered as a potential approach for future on-chip optical buffer. In this paper, we demonstrated a large bandwidth slow light device using cascaded Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based microring resonators. With carefully designed the gap between the bus and the ring waveguides and the distances between the adjacent rings, a 57 ps group delay was observed and 83 Gbps maximum allowable bit rate is suggested according the measured 3 dB spectral bandwidth in the 8-stage
