摘要：

We demonstrate an electro-optically (EO) tunable switch using tenth-order coupled-microring resonators in siliconon-insulator using complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor fabrication technology. The measured drop-port transmission spectra show box-like transmission passband with similar to 100-GHz bandwidth and similar to 50-dB extinction ratio. With a DC voltage supply to the integrated p-i-n diodes surrounding the microrings, the optical switch shows, respectively, similar to 10 and similar to 45-dB on/off ratios from throughput-and drop-port. The measured EO switching times are similar to 1 ns upon a 1.2-Vpp low-speed driving signal and a DC power consumption of similar to 37 mW. Up to 30-Gb/s pseudorandom binary sequence (2(31) -1) signal transmissions suggest high-data-rate signal switching capability.
