A Demultiplexing Filter With Box-Like Response and Large FSR Based on LNOI Second-Order Micro-Ring Resonators

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a high-performance micro-ring resonator (MRR) with a large free-spectral range (FSR) on the lithium niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) platform. Mode crosstalk happens in LNOI waveguide bends because more than one mode is generated from the anisotropy of lithium ni...

description We propose and experimentally demonstrate a high-performance micro-ring resonator (MRR) with a large free-spectral range (FSR) on the lithium niobate-on-insulator (LNOI) platform. Mode crosstalk happens in LNOI waveguide bends because more than one mode is generated from the anisotropy of lithium niobate, which limits the minimum bending radius of MRRs. Mode properties of ridge waveguides on X-cut LNOI with different bend radii and wavelengths have been analyzed to remove the effect of mode hybridization and reduce the mode crosstalk. On this basis, a small radius MRR with large FSR and 3dB bandwidth is achieved. Further, to deal with the wavelength shift caused by fabrication error, a second-order micro-ring resonators (2<sup>nd</sup>-order MRRs) filter with a box-like response and a high out-of-band rejection ratio is realized. Besides, a multichannel demultiplexing filter is realized based on 2<sup>nd</sup>-order MRRs with low crosstalk (&lt;&#x2212;13 dB) at a channel spacing of 1.16 nm. The demonstration of the demultiplexing filter with a box-like response paves an important step for high-density photonic integration on the LNOI platform.
