摘要
An ultra-narrow narrow passband-tunable optical filter employing a high-Q silicon racetrack resonator is proposed and experimentally demonstrated on a SOI platform. The high-Q silicon racetrack resonator is realized by utilizing the multimode waveguide racetrack, and the Q factor is measured as high as 8.1 x 10(5). The structure of the device is based on a thermally tunable Mach-Zehnder interferometer coupled racetrack. The tunability of the bandwidth is realized by tuning the coupling coefficient between the racetrack resonator and the input or output ports. Finally, the bandwidth of the filter can be tuned from 1.92 to 11.00 pm (240 MHz to 1.375 GHz), and the free spectral range is about 0.28 nm (35 GHz), with the footprint of 0.21 mm(2).
