Densely integrated microring resonator based photonic devices for use in access networks.
Two reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers, operating in the second or third telecom window, as well as a 1x4x4 reconfigurable lambda-router operating in the second telecom window, are demonstrated. The devices have a footprint less than 2 mm(2) and are based on thermally tunable vertically coupled microring resonators fabricated in Si(3)N(4)/SiO(2).
