A waveguide-coupled inverted nested ring resonator structure is proposed and theoretically investigated. The effects of the parameters of such a structure on its transmission properties are demonstrated. Results show that both Fano resonance and coupled-resonator-induced transparency (CRIT) spectra can be produced within this structure, depending on the length ratio of the feedback waveguide and ring. In addition, the slope of the Fano resonance can be tuned and reversed by varying coupling coefficients and effective refractive index. Besides, CRIT-based tunable group delay can be obtained with high transmittance. Therefore, this structure has potential applications in optical sensors and optical communication.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
