Abstract

Optical filter that utilizes silicon micro-ring resonator (MRR) has been proposed as a solution in order to provide high-bandwidth, low power consumption and small size. MRR is the promising basic element of future optical integrated circuits due to its various applications such as wavelength filter, modulator and sensor. In this paper, we investigate the trade-off between ring radius, gap size and width of core variations to the MRR performance.
