7. 7 FABRY-PEROT RESONATOR n 1 = n 3 = 1.4 (SiO 2 ) n 2 = 3 (semiconductor) d = 3 μm λ = 1550 nm Problems: 1. Resonance peaks are not sharp. 2. There is no spectral spacing between peaks. 3. High background level.
8. 8 FABRY-PEROT RESONATOR TE wave n 1 = n 3 = 1.4 (SiO 2 ) n 2 = 3 (semiconductor) d = 20 μm λ = 1550 nm High reflectance at large angles due to the high reflection coefficients at the interfaces!

10. 10 FABRY-PEROT RESONATOR n 1 = n 3 = 1.4 (SiO 2 ) n 2 = 3 (semiconductor) mirror thickness = 20 nm d = 3 μm λ = 1550 nm Mirror reflectance is as high as 90%.
11. 11 FABRY-PEROT RESONATOR n 1 = n 3 = 1.4 (SiO 2 ) n 2 = 3 (semiconductor) mirror thickness = 20 nm d = 3 μm λ = 1550 nm Losses in the metal decrease the mirror reflectance from 90% to 80%. The absor- bance is higher than the transmittance and reflectance. Therefore Bragg (DBR) reflectors are preferred when possible.

Try to evaluate the intensity of electromagnetic field inside the resonator using this plot and the values of the reflectance (80%) and transmittance (10%) of the metal mirrors. n 1 = n 3 = 1.4 (SiO 2 ) n 2 = 3 (semiconductor) mirror thickness = 20 nm d = 3 μm

They fabricated the p-i-n ring resonator on a silicon- on-insulator substrate with a 3-µm-thick buried oxide layer. Both the waveguide coupling to the ring and that forming the ring had a width of 450 nm and a height of 250 nm. The diameter of the ring is 12 µm, and the spacing between the ring and the straight waveguide was 200 nm.
