Abstract

A simple approach based on six transfer cells and simulated annealing algorithm for analyzing and tailoring the spectra of arbitrary microring resonator arrays is presented. Coupling coefficients, ring sizes, and waveguide lengths of microring resonator arrays can be arbitrary in this approach. After developing this approach, several examples are demonstrated and optimized for various configurations of microring resonator arrays. Simulation results show that this approach is intuitive, efficient, and intelligent for applications based on microring resonator arrays.
