The proposed research is in the area of integrated photonic devices, with focus on advanced applications of coupled microring resonators (CMRs) for optical communication and optical interconnect systems. Microring resonators are travelling-wave optical resonators which have become a key building block in many photonic integrated circuits, thanks to their compact sizes, versatility, and ease of fabrication and integration. One of the most important applications of microring resonators is the construction of high-order optical filters by coupling multiple resonators together. Conventional microring filters are based on the one-dimensional (1D) coupling topology, which can only realize a limited set of spectral responses. By extending the coupling topology to two dimensions (2D), much richer spectral characteristics can be synthesized for advanced applications in optical spectral engineering, such as high-performance filters and dispersion compensators.

拟议的研究是在集成的光子设备领域，重点是用于光学通信和光学互连系统的耦合微孔谐振器（CMR）的高级应用。微孔谐振器是行进波的光学谐振器，由于其紧凑的尺寸，多功能性以及易于制造和集成，它已成为许多光子集成电路中的关键构建块。微孔谐振器最重要的应用之一是通过将多个谐振器耦合在一起来构建高阶光学过滤器。常规的微孔过滤器基于一维（1D）耦合拓扑，该拓扑只能实现有限的光谱响应。通过将耦合拓扑扩展到两个维度（2D），可以合成更丰富的光谱特性，以用于光谱工程中的高级应用，例如高性能过滤器和分散补偿器。
