摘要
We propose to integrate grating-assisted asymmetric couplers with microring resonators for selective resonance excitation and control of coupling efficiency. A grating-coupled microring add-drop filter is experimentally demonstrated using a silicon-on-insulator technology compatible with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor processing. A dominant longitudinal mode with a side-mode suppression ratio of 8 dB has been obtained across a broad spectral range of over 130 nm. The selected mode shows an out-of-band-rejection ratio of 19 dB and a quality factor (Q) of 25 000. The concept of integrating grating-assisted couplers for mode selectivity can be applied to other microring-based devices for high-Q, single-mode operations. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
