  • Abstract
    Second- and third-order filter response is experimentally shown in filters constructed using mutually coupled microring resonators. The higher order filters have passbands with sharper rolloff and flatter tops, and greater out-of-band rejection than previously demonstrated microring filters, which were first order. The effect of varying interesonator coupling on filter passband shape was studied.
