The nonlinear microring add-drop filter

A new model is developed for the effects of the Kerr optical nonlinearity in a microring (racetrack) resonator coupled to input and output waveguides, which takes into account the nonlinearity in the couplers as well as the microring sections. It is shown how the nonlinear microring add-drop filter...

Summary:A new model is developed for the effects of the Kerr optical nonlinearity in a microring (racetrack) resonator coupled to input and output waveguides, which takes into account the nonlinearity in the couplers as well as the microring sections. It is shown how the nonlinear microring add-drop filter can be used as a self-adjusting all-optical beam splitter to extend the dynamic range of photodetectors and protect optoelectronic circuitry from high input powers.
