Optical transmission properties of si₃ n₄ add-drop micro-ring resonator induced by a fabry–perot resonance effect

To resolve the problem of miscellaneous peaks and improve the accuracy of data processing in micro-ring resonators (MRRs), we propose an optical transmission model based on a Fabry–Perot (F-P) resonance effect in a Si₃ N₄ add-drop MRR-waveguide structure, which is analyzed using a coupled mode theory and stationary interference method. The analysis indicates the experimentally obtained miscellaneous peaks are mainly induced by the multiple reflections between the two end grating couplers, which form a F-P cavity. In addition, an anti-reflection film on the interface of the grating couplers is proposed to reduce the F-P resonance effect. This work could be useful to analyze optical transmission properties of other MRR-based structures.
