Validation of an analytical model of si-ring resonators for designing a 1×8 multiplexer in SCISSOR configuration

Abstract : We numerically simulate chromatic and thermal dispersion in ring-resonator-based filters and validate the model with experimental data. A low-loss 1×8 multiplexer based on SCISSORs structure was designed with a bandwidth of 200 GHz at -3 dB and a crosstalk better than -13.5 dB for each channel.
