Abstract :
We design a silicon MMI crossing laterally coupled microring resonator-based cross-connect filter. Numerical simulations suggest our design exhibits reduced insertion loss, reduced crosstalk, and more symmetric Lorentzian lineshapes as compared with the conventional plain-crossing-microring design.
