Novel demultiplexer configurations based on concatenated Mach-Zehnders and a ring resonator are presented. These new devices exhibit high channel isolation, flexibility, no loss, and megahertzadjustable full width at half maximum (FWHM) suitable for narrow channel spacing. General design equations are described. Examples of a 1 ϫ4-2.5-GHz demultiplexer and a 2.5-GHz/5-GHz interleaver are reported. These designs have channel isolation Ͼ40 dB, 128 MHz FWHM, 10 dB gain. These devices can be conveniently implemented using the silicon or InP integrated optic technologies. A fabrication tolerance analysis is carried out. The worst figures for the previous designs are 220 MHz FWHM, 23-dB channel isolation, and 5.7-dB gain and can be readjusted with a gain control.
