| Abstract(in English) | Silicon wire waveguide wavelength selective switch is proposed on the basis of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. A wide free spectral range (FSR) optical filter with resonant wavelength-tunable capacity is designed and fabricated. The tunable microring resonator is formed by two fixed and movable U-shaped silicon waveguides coupled with each other by two directional couplers. The circumference of the microring is tuned by using a low power consumption electrostatic comb actuator translating the movable waveguide. The waveguide couplers in microring are designed to compensate the wavelength dependence that is caused by varying the resonant wavelength of microring. The tunable microring resonator with a circumference of 19.1μm is designed and fabricated to obtain a 20 nm wide FSR. The resonant wavelength tunability for scanning over the full FSR was obtained. The switch mechanism between microring and busline waveguides is also designed and fabricated to construct the proposed wavelength selective switch, and the characteristics were evaluated. |
