Cascaded uncoupled dual-ring modulator

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We demonstrate, by coherent driving two uncoupled rings in same direction, that the effective photon circulating time in the dual-ring modulator is reduced, with increased modulation quality. The inter-ring detuning-dependent photon dynamics, Q factor, extinction ratio, and optical modulation amplitude of two cascaded silicon ring resonators are studied and compared with that of a single-ring modulator. Experimentally measured eye diagrams, together with coupled mode theory simulations, demonstrate the enhancement of the dual-ring configuration at 20 Gbps with a Q20,000.
