Abstract

We characterize a system consisting of a two-mode waveguide coupled to a single-mode microring resonator possibly presenting a nonlinear response of Kerr type. By using the scattering parameter formalism extended to the multimode domain, we show that in the linear regime and for an ideally transparent medium, each resonance of the system can be exploited to perform complete even-to-odd (respectively, odd-to-even) modal conversion. Moreover, when the Kerr nonlinearity is effective, the microring enables a power-dependent modal switching mediated by phase bistability. Thanks to its mode-processing capabilities, this configuration is suitable to find application as a functional building-block in mode-division multiplexing (MDM) photonic integrated circuits.

By means of simple analytical evaluations made on slab waveguides, one can quickly verify the validity of this assumption, as long as \(WG_1\) remains reasonably far from the system made by \(WG_2+WG_3\). In fact, given the transverse power distribution of the modes in this configuration, the overlap integral between \(WG_1\) and \(WG_3\) (which is roughly proportional to the coupling constant) appears to be vanishingly smaller than the one between \(WG_1\) and \(WG_2\).
