Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the simulation and laboratorial validation of ring assisted Mach-Zehnder interferometers (RAMZIs) for use as optical filters in demultiplexing systems in optical communication. The study explores the integration of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) and an optical ring ressonator (ORR) to achieve a flat-top spectral response. The ORR and MZI are independently simulated before combining them into a RAMZI structure. The experimental results, obtained from a fabricated PIC on a SiOI platform, closely align with simulated spectrum, demonstrating the validity of the proposed model.
