Abstract

We propose and demonstrate a nested configuration of a silicon microring resonator possessing multiple coupling regimes in one passive device. For different resonance notches of the transmission intensity spectrum, diverse notch depths and bandwidths owing to multiple coupling regimes are designed and experimentally achieved. The phase response of the proposed configuration is also investigated. Experimental observation of fast and slow lights at different resonance wavelengths further verifies the realization of multiple coupling regimes.
