Abstract :
We present a fully-reconfigurable CMOS-compatible silicon-photonic lattice-filter with four cascaded unit cells consisting of resonant rings and Mach-Zehnder interferometers. The measurements show high-quality filter responses including IIR and FIR filter characteristics matching theoretical predictions.
