Wavelength-selective reflector based on a circular array of coupled microring resonators

We propose and analyze a novel type of wavelength-selective reflector for planar lightwave technology based on a circular array of coupled microring resonators. Narrow-band reflection peaks can be achieved without the need for additional complex lithography and processing steps. The ring resonators...

Summary:We propose and analyze a novel type of wavelength-selective reflector for planar lightwave technology based on a circular array of coupled microring resonators. Narrow-band reflection peaks can be achieved without the need for additional complex lithography and processing steps. The ring resonators also allow for simple and wide-range tuning of the reflection peak.
