Abstract:
An apparatus, comprising a substrate with a planar surface an optical power splitter on the surface, and an optical power combiner on the surface. The apparatus also comprises pairs of optical waveguides located on the planar surface, each waveguide of the pairs connecting a corresponding output of the optical power splitter to a corresponding input of the optical power combiner. The apparatus also comprises a plurality of optical resonators located on the surface, each of the resonators of the plurality being evanescently coupled to a corresponding one of the waveguides. For each particular one of the pairs, resonant frequencies of the optical resonators coupled to the waveguides of the particular one of the pairs are about the same. Resonant frequencies of each pair of the optical resonators coupled to two of the waveguides in different ones of the pairs are different.
