Abstract
A resonator structure is presented comprising a closed loop resonator waveguide having a width varying over the circumferential region of the resonator waveguide. The resonator structure can be used in various applications, such as optical filters, lasers, modulators, spectrum analyzers, wavelockers, interleave filters, and optical add drop multiplexers.
Claims23
A resonator structure comprising a closed loop resonator waveguide having a width varying over a circumferential region thereof.
A resonator structure comprising a closed loop resonator waveguide optically coupled to at least one waveguide, said closed loop resonator waveguide having a width varying over a circumferential region thereof.
A resonator structure comprising a closed loop oval-like resonator waveguide having arc-waveguide segments connected to each other, wherein a width of the arc segment varies over the circumference thereof.
A resonator structure comprising a closed loop oval-like resonator waveguide formed by two arc-waveguide segments connected to each other, wherein inner an outer boundaries of the arc-waveguide segments are given by:
- 5 ( x a ) n + ( y b ) n = 1
- wherein x and y are the coordinates, a and b are the major and minor axes, and n is the order of the high order ellipse, thereby providing a width variation of the arc segments over the circumference thereof.
An optical device comprising first and second waveguides, and a closed loop resonator waveguide coupled to the first and second waveguides, the resonator waveguide being of an oval-like shape having a width varying over a circumferential region thereof.
