New coupled micro-ring resonator structures and laser arrays

摘要

We have recently put forward a new type of zig-zag micro-ring resonator chain. This device has been demonstrated, for passive structures, using SiN technology. But the active structures are the ones exhibiting the most interesting behaviour and, for them, new fast and slow light phenomena have been predicted. For the stable operation of such systems, we have proposed and analysed a laser array configuration.
