Abstract

In order to increase the number of channels that could be multiplexed or demultiplexed in the dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) system based on the resonators on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technology, the Vernier effect in the series-coupled racetrack resonators is presented to extend the free spectral range (FSR) of the DWDM systems. A method is developed based on a matrix approach to simulate Vernier devices. A three-dimensional full vectorial finite difference (FVFD) model, specifically suited for high index contrast and smaller size waveguides, for example, a waveguide in SOI technology, is developed to obtain the properties of a waveguide. Finally, the Vernier effect in the two series-coupled racetrack resonators is experimentally verified with an improved FSR and interstitial resonance suppression.
