A new model is developed for the effects of the Kerr optical nonlinearity in a microring (racetrack) resonator coupled to input and output waveguides, which takes into account the nonlinearity in the couplers as well as the microring sections. It is shown how the nonlinear microring add-drop filter can be used as a self-adjusting all-optical beam splitter to extend the dynamic range of photodetectors and protect optoelectronic circuitry from high input powers.
针对与输入和输出波导耦合的微环(跑道型)谐振器中克尔光学非线性效应,开发了一种新模型,该模型考虑了耦合器以及微环部分的非线性。展示了非线性微环分插滤波器如何用作自调节全光分束器,以扩展光电探测器的动态范围,并保护光电子电路免受高输入功率的影响。
