Popis: In an effort to find low-cost alternatives for components currently used in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM), various devices fabricated on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) have been investigated. Many include modulators, filters, and switches that can be realized with a ring or racetrack resonator. For such devices to be commercially viable, they need to be insensitive to the polarization state of the input signal. Herein we discuss the design of polarization-independent multi-stage racetrack filters in SOI and compare this design with a single-stage configuration.
