The elliptical micro-ring resonator has a major radius of 6μm (minor radius of 4.112μm) and a large free spectral range of 18 nm. Experimental results show a box-like channel dropping response, which has a 3 dB bandwidth of -2.7nm, high out-of-band signal rejection of around 40dB and a very low drop loss (〈0.5dB). Simulation agrees well with the experiments. The footprint of the whole chip is only 0.0003mm2.展开更多
