  • Abstract
    High-contrast optical filtering is demonstrated using cascaded silicon microrings. We report an experimental measurement of a record 100 dB pass-band to stop-band contrast, tunable 12–125 GHz passband full-width at half-maximum, band-center insertion loss ripple {< }{3}~{\\rm dB} , and a group delay ripple {< }{5}~{\\rm ps} , using transverse electric polarized light.
