Abstract :
We discuss here the potential of compact ring-based high-order photonic integrated filters. Limitations related to fabrication tolerances and parasitic effects in high-index-contrast waveguides are also addressed and adaptive tuning of the filter parameters is proposed and demonstrated as a viable compensation strategy to maintain filter operation.
