Homework 3

You are asked to design an add/drop optical ring resonator with a ring radius of
5 m on a SOI platform with a waveguide thickness of 0.22 m. The wavelength
is 1.55 um.
(a) Please design the directional couplers for the add/drop optical ring with a
cross-coupling ratio of 0.1. All the waveguides in the ring resonator are strip
waveguides with a waveguide width of 0.45um.
(b) Please simulate the output spectrum of the drop and pass ports, respectively
and determine the Q-factor and FSR of the optical ring.
(c) Please explain and comment on the simulation results.

(a)
 本次作業採用以下設計:
1. L=5.5
2. Gap=0.0727(透過 MOST 結果 trial and error 求得)
 add/drop optical ring 結構圖:
 使用 MOST scan,在 Gap = 0.0727 處發現有 0.9 及 0.1 同時存在的 cross-
coupling ratio (P.S:所有 Plot 圖中之 Gap 為絕對位置):
 MOST 計算 Gap=0.0727(單一點)時的 cross-coupling ratio:

0.099

0.088
(b)

 得出 Gap 後使用 Fullwave 模擬:

 PWM 圖找出 FWHM 及峰值位置:


Peak 2
Peak 1

FWHM 2 FWHM 2

FWHM 1 FWHM 1
 使用 Excel 紀錄峰值位置、FWHM 後計算出 FSR、平均 FWHM 以及
Q-factor:

(C)
在此結構中,當符合共振條件的光線從輸入端波導進入,並經過環形波導
時,在環形波導裡由於建設性干涉而逐漸增加光強,最後在輸出端波導輸出。
由於只有特定的波長的光才能在環形波導中發生共振,可視為是一個濾波器。
而其中 Q-Factor 的值越高,得到的峰值對應波長間距越小,在測試時諧振
譜線漂移量所產生的干擾更少,此現象也在與實驗室同學討論及自行用
L=4.25、Gap=0.0618 模擬進行比較後得到證實。
