Description
Summary:We describe the theory of optical ring resonators, and our work on GaAs-AlGaAs and GaInAsP-InP optical micro-ring resonators. These devices are promising building blocks for future all-optical signal processing and photonic logic circuits. Their versatility allows the fabrication of ultra-compact multiplexers/demultiplexers, optical channel dropping filters, lasers, amplifiers, and logic gates (to name a few), which will enable large-scale monolithic integration for optics.
