Description
図6は、実施例1に係るリング共振器600の構成図である。入力1の導波路は15:85のMMI光カプラ51に入力され、15%の光がリング共振器600のリング導波路(曲線導波路56)に結合され、85%の光はリング共振器内部の捨て導波路(光廃棄用導波路510a)に結合される。リング共振器構造のうち、MMIカプラ51とMMIカプラ50とを接続する曲線導波路56は、MMIカプラそれぞれの外側のポート58,59間を接続しており、MMIカプラ50とMMIカプラ51とを接続する曲線導波路57は、MMIカプラそれぞれの内側のポート509,508間を接続している。2本の曲線導波路56,57に関して曲げ半径を調整し、長さを等しくした。これにより、リング共振器600のMMIカプラ51,50の前後で対称性が維持され、作製誤差等によって発生する干渉の揺らぎが抑えられる。
