Abstract

Two types of silicon dual-ring resonator-based high-speed optical modulators are proposed. With two microring resonators cascaded either in series or in parallel, the transmission spectrum evolves from a deep notch to a sharp peak with the resonators operating in a push-pull manner. The frequency chirp of the modulated signals can be highly suppressed by choosing a proper working wavelength.
