Popis: We numerically demonstrate an all-dielectric approach for magnetically tunable add/drop of optical channels in dense wavelength division multiplexing applications. Our concept comprises a micro-ring resonator, with an inner magneto-optical disk, side-coupled to two waveguides. The simulation results, obtained within the ITU-T G.694.1 recommendation, indicate high performance add/drop of odd and even optical channels (along the entire C-band) by flipping the intrinsic magnetization of the disk. Since the simulations were performed with CMOS-compatible materials, it is hoped that the structure proposed here can be integrated into future ultrafast optical communication networks.
