Abstract :
A wavelength selective 1-by-8-port optical broadcasting system is proposed and demonstrated utilizing partial drop adiabatic microring tunable filters, achieving a 92.7GHz filter bandwidth, 36.2nm Free-Spectral-Range, low power-variation (0.11dB), and aggregate excess loss of only 1.1dB.
