Abstract :
We present an ultra-compact optical diode using nonlinear second-order silicon microring resonator which is complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatible. The designed optical diode features high isolation (>20 dB) and more tolerant resonance wavelength mismatch (+/-0.35 nm with <;1.5 dB isolation degradation).
