The characteristic response of single and double GaInAsP-InP ring resonator
s in the form of race tracks with a radius of 100 and 200 mum are presented
, The used multimode interference (MMI) coupler is as short as 150 mum. A c
ontrast of 13 dB, a finesse of six, and free spectral ranges of 50 and 100
GHz have been achieved for the single ring resonator, The double ring reson
ator has a full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of 0.25 nm for the throughput
port and 0.4 nm for the drop port.
