The designed structure becomes simulated transmission uniformity of three outputs better than 0.5dB in a broadband of 250nm, and a large simulated fabrication tolerance is obtained. A manufactured splitter whose parameters greatly diverge from the design acquires a measured result of the worst splitting ratio better than 1.5dB as well as an excess loss lower than 0.8 dB in a large wavelength range of 80nm. A post-simulation based on the tested splitter obtains a result that meets the actual transmission well.展开更多

The proposed MPF is realized by using a 10 th-order microring resonator(MRR) and a photodetector,both of which are integrated on a photonic chip. The full width at half-maximum(FWHM) bandwidth of the optical filter achieved at the drop port of the 10 th-order MRR is 21.6 GHz. The ripple of the passband is less than 0.3 dB, while the rejection ratio is 32 dB. By adjusting the deviation of the optical carrier wavelength from the center wavelength of the optical bandpass filter, the bandwidth of the MPF can be greatly changed. In the experiment, the FWHM bandwidth of the proposed MPF is tuned from 5.3 to 19.5 GHz, and the rejection ratio is higher than 30 dB.展开更多

With a short modu- lation arm length of 200μm, the crosstalk is reduced to -22 dB by the new modulation scheme of push-pull modulation with a pre-biased π2 phase shift. The new modulation scheme can also work with a fast switching time of about 5.4 ns.展开更多
