Validation of an analytical model of Si-ring resonators for designing a 1 × 8 multiplexer in SCISSOR configuration

We numerically simulate chromatic and thermal dispersion in ring-resonator-based filters and validate the model with experimental data. A low-loss 1 × 8 multiplexer based on SCISSOR structure was designed with a bandwidth of 200GHz at −3 dB and a crosstalk better than −13.5 dB for each channel.
