Abstract :
The analytic theory governing the complete scattering response of two-dimensional (2-D) microring resonator arrays is developed, The method is applicable to arbitrary interconnections of general four-port, single polarization nodes. An 8/spl times/8 cross-grid array of vertically coupled glass microring resonators is fabricated for test purposes.
