“…The measured GVD values of about ±100 ps/(nm · resonator) are equivalent to ±8.3 × 10 8 ps/(nm · km), and the calculated GVD of ±17 ps/(nm · resonator) is equivalent to ±1.4 × 10 8 ps/(nm · km). The CROWs we have presented are about 10 7 times more dispersive than conventional optical fibers, 10 6 times more dispersive than highly dispersive photonic crystal fibers [23], and approximately 100 to 1000 times more dispersive than photonic crystal waveguides reported to date [24], [25]. Compared to previously reported GVD values of photonic crystal CROWs [26], the GVD of our microring CROWs is about an order of magnitude greater.…”

Abstract-We present measurements of the transmission and dispersion properties of coupled-resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) consisting of weakly coupled polymer microring resonators. The fabrication and the measurement methods of the CROWs are discussed as well. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical loss, waveguide dispersion, group delay, group velocity, and group-velocity dispersion (GVD). The intrinsic quality factors of the microrings were about 1.5 × 10 4 to 1.8 × 10 4 , and group delays greater than 100 ps were measured with a GVD between −70 and 100 ps/(nm · resonator). With clear and simple spectral responses and without a need for the tuning of the resonators, the polymer microring CROWs demonstrate the practicability of using a large number of microresonators to control the propagation of optical waves.

“…Although the MM can describe leaky nature of HFs with finite number of air holes and can give accurate results for both the real and the imaginary parts of the propagation constants, it is difficult to deal with noncircular air holes which appear frequently in actual fiber structures [4], [5]. In the MM, therefore, all the air holes are replaced by the circular ones and some of the interstitial holes and outer holes are usually neglected [4].…”

“…Indeed, birefringence between the fundamental modes has been observed frequently. 2,[7][8][9] Theoretical discussion of MF birefringence has thus far been based almost entirely on numerical calculations of the modal spectrum, particularly of the pair of essentially uniformly polarized fundamental modes-the analogs in MF of the step-index fiber HEll mode. Some authors (see, e.g., Ref.…”
