Light Combining for Interferometric Switching

الملخص EN

Interferometric switching as a routing method in sequence of coupled optical microresonators is explored.

Mach-Zhender interferometry is extended to systems of side-coupled integrated sequences of resonators (SCISSORs) and coupled resonators optical waveguides (CROWs).

We generalized Coupled Mode Theory (CMT) to a system of three coupled waveguides.

The two bus interferometric switching functions of SCISSOR and CROW resonant structures are investigated.

A novel switching device based on three input phase modulation ports is presented.

This device displays a wide range of switching behaviors which might lead to new interesting applications.
