Abstract
We investigate the properties of a multimode-interference (MMI) coupled micro ring cavity resonator with total-internal-reflection (TIR) mirrors and a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The TIR mirrors were fabricated by the self-aligned process with a loss of 0.7 dB per mirror. The length and width of an MMI are 142 &mgr;m and 10 &mgr;m, respectively. The resulting free spectral range (FSR) of the resonator was approximately 1.698 nm near 1571 nm and the extinction ratio was about 17 dB. These devices might be useful as optical switching and add-drop filters in a photonic integrated circuit or as small and fast resonator devices.
