Dual-working mode device based on dual-element photonic crystal-stepped concave waveguide
Abstract In this study, a Si3N4 on insulator device used for photonic integrated chips (PICs) is proposed. The dual-working mode device is constructed using a racetrack microring resonator, which is established using a dual-period photonic crystal-stepped concave waveguide (DPCSCW). A novel scheme of dual-working modes is realized, and sensing and filtering are performed simultaneously without interference. The results show that a sensitivity of 558.6 nm/RIU and quality factor of 5795.24 were obtained for the sensor mode. An extinction of 58 dB and bandwidth of up to 335 nm were achieved in the filter mode. The footprint of the entire device is within 20 μm×11 μm, which is ultra-compact and suitable for PICs.
