Abstract

We proposed a new approach to generate slow light transmission with large bandwidth and high buildup factor by using a soliton pulse propagating within integrated ring resonator circuit. The system consisted series of micron-size ring resonator fabricated by using nonlinear InGaAsP/InP material that are laterally coupled together. For convenience of analysis, optical transfer function for this model is obtained by using z-transform method. Slow light performances were modeled and discuss in this paper. Intensity buildup induced within the series of rings located at left and right sides of the system while strong nonlinear Kerr effect and mutual coupling leads to the spreading frequency bands within the device. Numerical simulation verifies that signal pulse with 45 ps relative delay time and bandwidth of 5.9 GHz (47 pm) are obtained at the communication wavelength around 1550 nm for a 100 ps signal pulse.

Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics: Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices, Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Iraj Sadegh Amiri, Abdolkarim Afreezeh, H. Ahmad

Micro-ring resonators (MRRs) are employed to generate signals used for optical communication applications, where they can be integrated in a single system. These structures are ideal candidates for very large-scale integrated (VLSI) photonic circuits, since they provide a wide range of optical signal processing functions while being ultra-compact. Soliton pulses have sufficient stability for preservation of their shape and velocity. Technological progress in fields such as tunable narrow band laser systems, multiple transmission, and MRR systems constitute a base for the development of new transmission techniques. Controlling the speed of a light signal has many potential applications in fiber optic communication and quantum computing. The slow light effect has many important applications and is a key technology for all optical networks such as optical signal processing. Generation of slow light in MRRs is based on the nonlinear optical fibers. Slow light can be generated within the micro-ring devices, which will be able to be used with the mobile telephone. Therefore, the message can be kept encrypted via quantum cryptography. Thus perfect security in a mobile telephone network is plausible. This research study involves both numerical experiments and theoretical work based on MRRs for secured communication.

Methods of slow light generation

Iraj Sadegh Amiri, Abdolkarim Afroozeh, H. Ahmad

This chapter presents the techniques of generating slow and fast pulse using micro-ring resonator (MRR). MRR systems made of different materials. Micro-ring device can be constructed with radius in the size of a micron. The chapter utilises the input power below and above threshold value to investigate the behavior of light pulse in term of linearity and nonlinearity. To generate slow light, series of ring resonators is used. In this method, the nonlinear effect of waveguide is neglected because of threshold power of nonlinear effect. Bright soliton and Gaussian beam can be used for three waveguide as input pulses. In this method chaotic signal can be canceled by neglecting nonlinear effects. All optical waveguide materials to generate slow and fast light should be dispersive. This means that the refractive index varies with wavelength. There are several ways to measure dispersion in materials.

Wide-bandwidth zero-dispersion slow light in MKRs with a two-ring parallel connection structure based on an analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency

Yiping Xu, Liyong Ren, Chengju Ma +3 more

Based on an analog of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in microfiber knot resonators with a two-ring parallel connection structure, a wide bandwidth and zero-dispersion slow-light waveguide is proposed. The EIT-like transmission spectrum with the variation of wavelengths for different coupling coefficients is numerical simulated. By appropriately adjusting the coupling coefficients of the two knot rings, a group time delay of about 72.4 ps with a flat wavelength bandwidth of about 82.7 pm and a full width at half-maximum of about 228 pm at one of the induced transparency windows is achieved theoretically. And the group time delay dispersion at the same induced transparency window nearly reaches to zero with a wavelength bandwidth of about 82.7 pm.

Analysis and simulation of ring resonators for slow and fast light devices applications

Hamidreza Khashei, Hassan Kaatuzian

In this paper we demonstrate, how fast and slow light phenomena in ring resonator can simultaneously be observed at a single frequency, using strongly coupled ring resonators. We also report on the design of a ring resonator with SOI technology that operate in optical wavelength 1.55 micron and have (one micro-ring) a factor for fast light ~22 picosecond (ps) and a factor for slow light ~12 ps with bandwidth ~100GHz with mixing angle (θ) 30 degrees, however depended on mixing angle and number of rings. Using light in a mixed polarization state, we show that fast and slow light can be obtained from a single incident wave packet. We simulate one micro-ring and extend our result to more micro-ring.

Slow light generation using microring resonators for optical buffer application

Mahdi Bahadoran, Abdolkarim Afroozeh, Jalil B. Ali +1 more

We propose a novel design of optical buffer to generate slow light based on delay time. In the framework of the nonlinear waveguide, we investigate propagation of solitons through microring resonators. Dynamical control over slow-light solitons is realized via controlling fields generated by bright soliton and Gaussian pulse. The nonlinear dependence of the velocity of the signal on the controlling field is analytically described. The buffering effect is achieved by slowing the optical signal using an external control light source to vary the dispersion characteristic of the medium via microring resonators. A graphical approach with a signal flow graph method is used to derive the optical transfer functions in z-domain of filters. The characteristics of the optical buffer devices including the transmittance and time delay of the through and drop port are simulated. Simulated results show the criteria of achieving slow light in semiconductor microring resonators. Finally, output signal shows the delay time rate by propagation through the semiconductor microring resonators.
