Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel Mach-Zehnder Gires- Tournois interferometer (MZGTI) and a scheme to realize super high extinction ratio flat-top comb filter based on cascaded MZGTIs. Two sets of novel multi-cavity transmissive Gires-Tournois etalon (MCT-GTE) composed of cascaded Mach-Zehnder interferometer loops are added to the two arms of Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) respectively, which forms a new MZI, i.e., MZGTI. MZGTI has the same characteristics as Michelson-Gires-Tournois interferometer (MGTI), which is suitable for dense wavelength division multiplexing systems. The super-high extinction ratio comb filter (SHERCF) we proposed has good passband flatness and wide bandwidth (passband or stopband bandwidth) when the extinction ratio is fairly high, which is quite superior to MGTI or MZGTI. For the severe chromatic dispersion problems, we propose a set of multi-cavity ring resonator (MC-RR) as a tunable dispersion compensator (TDC) for MZGTI, which is a set of cascaded ring resonators. Moreover, we demonstrate that a set of cascaded MC-RRs is an efficient dispersion compensator for SHERCF with the optimized results.
