Abstract

A reconfigurable silicon microring filter, which is constructed by cascading a tunable Mach-Zehnder interferometer and a double injected silicon microring resonator with a variable input angle, is proposed and investigated. The spectra reconfigurations of the optical filter were simulated and analyzed using the transmission matrix method. The results show that when keeping the perimeter of the microring constant, the free spectral range (FSR) of the filter can be multiplied by adjusting the angle between the two injections. Moreover, by changing the coupling coefficients of the microring and the optical power ratio between the two injections, different types of spectral responses such as square, sinusoidal, and flat-top interleaver can be obtained. The device is simple and easy to integrate, and its capabilities to expand the FSR and spectral reconfiguration may have great potential in reconfigurable integrated optic chips.
