8 x 8 wavelength router of optical network on chip

An integrated 8 x 8 wavelength router based on the micro-ring resonators using 2 x 2 multi-interference (MMI) crossing is demonstrated on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, which is manufactured with microelectronics equipment. Experimental results show a free spectral range (FSR) about ~37 nm,...

Summary:An integrated 8 x 8 wavelength router based on the micro-ring resonators using 2 x 2 multi-interference (MMI) crossing is demonstrated on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, which is manufactured with microelectronics equipment. Experimental results show a free spectral range (FSR) about ~37 nm, an on/off contrast larger than 20 dB, an imbalance among the channels less than 2 dB, a crosstalk of channels smaller than -10 dB, a spacing between close channels about 3.6 ± 0.7 nm and an output efficiency of every channel smaller than 20 dB.
