title: Transmission characteristics of dual microring resonators coupled via 3x3 couplers.
abstract: New types of dual microring resonators coupled via 3x3 couplers are proposed. By employing the transfer matrix method, a model for these four types is developed and analytical expressions for characterizing their transmissions are derived. The first two types show a coupled-resonator-induced-transparency-like transmission spectrum at the through port. The third type holds the same transmission spectrum, while the last type simultaneously realizes a first-order and a second-order filters at two drop ports. The effects of coupling coefficients on their transmission spectra are investigated in more detail. Moreover, the effects of loss are also discussed. These proposed types can be found applications in fields such as sensors and filters.
