Abstract :
An integrated optical compound ring filter for use in a multicast and slice channelizer/spectrum analyzer is presented. We discuss design and implementation of a SiO2 based photonic filter with 250 MHz resolution bandwidth, a flattened passband, and finesse greater than 100, enabling channelization of instantaneous bandwidths above 10GHz.
