Abstract
A method has already been reported by the author and others for synthesizing coherent two-port lattice-form optical delay-line circuits which have the same filter characteristics as finite impulse response (FIR) digital filters. This paper proposes a two-port circuit configuration with ring waveguides which can realize the same filter characteristics as infinite impulse response (IIR) digital filters. It also describes a synthesis method for realizing arbitrary IIR filter characteristics with the circuit configuration. This method is based on scattering matrix factorization. Some synthesis examples are demonstrated including an elliptic filter, a Butterworth filter, an optical filter with maximally flat group-delay characteristics, a group-delay dispersion equalizer, and a multichannel selector.
