Abstract

A new 1×32 wavelength de-multi/multiplexer utilizing the microring resonator and interleave filter is proposed in this paper. A novel formula of transfer functions is presented, the parameters of microring are optimized, and the transmission characteristics of the system are analyzed. The channel spacing of the presented device is 0.4 nm. The analytical result shows that the crosstalk between adjacent channels can be reduced greatly and the filter response of the device can be improved by using the interleave filter. A bandwidth (3 dB) of 0.21 nm, an insertion loss less than 1.1 dB, and crosstalk below −32 dB were obtained for the optimized device. A method for compensating the manufacturing tolerances is discussed.
