M. Kohtoku et al., 200-GHz, FSR periodic multi/demultiplexer with flattened transmisson and rejection band by using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a ring resonator, IEEE PHOTON, 12(9), 2000, pp. 1174-1176
A periodic multi/demultiplexer that has a square spectrum response with a 2
00-GHz free spectrum range was fabricated using a modified Mach-Zehnder int
erferometer with MMI couplers, a delay line, and a ring resonator. A large
enhancement of the FSR is obtained by using a deep ridge waveguide, The tra
nsmission bandwidths of 1 dB down and -15-dB rejection are about 75 GHz and
over 50 GHz, respectively.
