2 1. Introduction Silicon (Si) microrings (MRs) offer high quality factor Q and compact size making such structures attractive for telecommunications and sensing applications [1,2]. There are two commonly employed sensing schemes exploiting MR s: one is by monitoring the resonance wavelength shift and the other is by measuring the output intensity change at fixed wavelength [3]. The wavelength-shift sensing scheme has large dynamic range, but renders the sensor slow due to the necessity of a time-consuming spectrum measurement. The intensity sensor has a small dynamic range, which can be increased by enhancing the extinction ratio with critical coupling, but also enables a rapid intensity measurement. The higher sensitivity of intensity sensors has been reported in theory and practice [4,5]. Even with stringent requirements on the light source and detector, high sensitivity sensors have been realized with Q as high as 20,000 and a detection limit of one in 10 7 [5]. Consequently, intensity sensors may be most suitable for microscale sensing with highly sensitivity. High-transmission waveguides with tight bends can be realized due to the large refractiveindex difference between Si and SiO 2 [6]. The large index contrast, however, introduces a strong reflection by the end facet of the coupling waveguide as shown in Fig. 1 [7]. A Fabry- Perot (FP) resonance is formed by the end-facet reflections with a small free spectral range (FSR) and low extinction ratio. The strong FP resonances show up as noise in some applications, which can obscure the MR resonance and degrade device performance [8]; however, the theoretical concept of the FP-resonance coupled microring resonator has been reported as a Fano resonator in Ref [9]. Some other components have been used to form the FP resonances coupled with a microring, such as an offset waveguide or fiber Bragg grating [10 12]. These concepts are all in the limit of a narrow microring resonance compared with the FP resonance, which requires comparable cavity length between the FP resonator and the MR. In our case, the FP FSR is far less than that of the MR because the coupled waveguide is much longer than the MR circumference. Fig. 1. MR resonator with end facet reflection In this paper, we implement both theoretically and experimentally Si MR resonators as sensors taking into account coupling to the dense FP resonances. The slope of the coupled resonance is studied as one of the most important factors in sensing [3]; it is thus shown that the sensitivity can be enhanced by steepening the slope by means other than boosting Q. Since the asymmetric resonance with high sensitivity has been demonstrated elsewhere in practice as an intensity sensor [10], we concentrate here on the experimental demonstration of the forming of the asymmetric resonance itself. Thus, our work points the way to inexpensive and easily fabricated high-sensitivity devices for chemical detection. Scattering theory is used to obtain the MR resonance spectral shape coupled with the FP resonance [9]. Finally, the result is compared with experiment in which a Si MR resonator is fabricated. 2. Theory Let us review the basic optical properties of MR resonators first in the absence of the FP resonance associated with the waveguide termination: we call this the pure resonance. The transfer matrix of the resonator can be obtained from scattering theory as [9] (C) 2010 OSA 1 February 2010 / Vol. 18, No. 3 / OPTICS EXPRESS 2968
3 T r iw 1 ω ω iw ω ω iw ω ω, iw 1+ ω ω 0 0 = 0 0 (1) where W is the half width at half maximum of the resonance and ω0 is the resonance frequency. Next, taking into account the FP resonance due to coupling to the terminated waveguide, the resulting resonance is called a coupled resonance whose transfer matrix is represented as iϕ iϕ e 0 e 0 T = T T T iϕ iϕ 0 e 0 e FP r FP where ϕ is the phase between MR and end facet, ϕ = ωl / (2 c), L is the optical length between MR and end facet. TFP is the transfer matrix of the partially reflecting end facet, and can be expressed as T FP 1 1 r =, 2 i 1 r r 1 where r is the amplitude reflectivity of the waveguide termination. According to the Fresnel formula at normal incidence between air and Si, n r = n eff eff where neff is the effective index of the Si waveguide; r is about 0.4 for the Si waveguide. The sensitivity of an intensity sensor in terms of the detection limit δ n is [4] 1, + 1, (2) (4) δ I δ n=, (5) S where δ I is the intensity detection limit originating in the detection ability of equipments; S is the sensitive of the intensity sensor and S = di dn. The intensity change di originates in the shift of shape of the resonance due to the effective index change dn at fixed wavelength. Thus, the steeper the slope, the higher the sensitivity S resulting from the enhancement in di [3]. 3. Simulation and experiment We take the waveguide length L to be 10 mm and the effective index to be The phase difference between resonances of the MR and FP is defined asα. The combined resonances with various α are showed in Fig. 2. The pure resonances are affected significantly by the FP resonance. The reason is that the FP resonance has a wavelength-dependent coupling to the MR resonance; the coupling varies strongly withα. Only whenα = π, the coupled resonance results in a single dip with steep slope. Otherwise, the spectrum possesses numerous dips, which may in practice render the device useless. For typical sensing applications, a spectrum with an isolated dip produces the steepest slope, and is thus desired. We now present experimental results verifying our theoretical analysis. Coupled waveguide-mr devices were fabricated using a Si-on-insulator (SOI) wafer shown in Fig. 2(a), which has a 1 µm buffered oxide layer topped with 230 nm of Si. Structures are defined by electron-beam lithography using a JEOL JBX-9300FS system, and the e-beam (C) 2010 OSA 1 February 2010 / Vol. 18, No. 3 / OPTICS EXPRESS 2969
4 resist is ZEP520A. Then the pattern is etched with a STS Standard Oxide Etcher. In Fig. 2(b), the phase difference between the microring and FP resonances leads to a modified coupled resonance shape. The dashed line indicates the pure FP resonance involved in the resonances coupling. With the smaller phase difference α = 0.13π in the top curves, the shape of the coupled resonance contains two comparable dips originating in FP resonances between which a peak locates at the microring resonance. With increasing phase difference α = 0.5π in the middle curves, the peak approaches the FP resonance as the left dip looses and right dip gains strength. In the case of α = π in the bottom curves, the shape of the coupled resonance merges into one dip with steeper slope. The experimental spectrum in Fig. 2(c) is obtained with different size microrings, but coupled waveguides of the same length. Using a vertical logarithmic scale makes it easier to observe the resonance dips; the dashed line represents the FP resonance involved. The dips change according to the phase difference α, which is consistent with the theoretical curves of Fig. 2(b). Fig. 2. (a) SEM image of racetrack microring. (b) Simulation results showing the coupled MRwaveguide resonance for W = nm for α = 0.13π and α = 0.5π, W = 0.02 nm for α = π. (c) Experimental results showing the coupled resonance for racetrack MRs, upper two curves with 10 µm and lower curve with 6 µm coupling length, and the length of the bus waveguide is about 10 mm. By changing the end-facet reflection, the extinction ratio of the FP resonance is adjusted to α = π. Consequently, the coupled resonances are showed in Fig. 3. For r = 0, there is no FP resonance. In this case, the MR resonance is a pure resonance and appears as a Lorentzian. When r is varied, the Lorentzian shape is modified, and the coupled resonance is asymmetric with a steeper slope that increases with increasing r. Meanwhile, the flat region away from the MR resonance becomes dominated by the numerous dips associated with the FP resonances. The resulting multiple FP resonances due to the end reflections can obscure the detailed shape of the relevant MR resonance in some applications. Antireflective coatings or subwavelength gratings on the facets may be introduced to suppress the FP resonances. In our sensing application, however, reduced end-facet reflection will in fact lower the sensitivity as the spectral slope becoming less steep. However, the Fresnel reflectivity, with the normal cleaved waveguide, is typically of the order of 30% [13], which can also be calculated by Eq. (4). This is enough to enhance the slope significantly with strong FP resonance as in Fig. 3. Furthermore, an enhanced reflectivity may be obtained by an end-facet coating, or by enhancing the effective mode index with tapered waveguide termination, through which the reflection can be enhanced based on Eq. (4). # $15.00 USD (C) 2010 OSA Received 30 Nov 2009; revised 7 Jan 2010; accepted 21 Jan 2010; published 27 Jan February 2010 / Vol. 18, No. 3 / OPTICS EXPRESS 2970
5 Fig. 3. The coupled resonance with different end-facet reflection coefficients r, W = nm. For Fig. 4(a), the Si waveguide has the end facet reflection r about 0.4; the parameters are same as in Fig. 2. In Fig. 4(a), the experimental resonance is represented in circle line. The solid line represents the simulated coupled resonance. Both sides of the resonance dip in the measured data are modified with respect to the Lorentzian and the lineshape is well fit by the solid theoretical curve. The coupled resonance is therefore demonstrated in theory and experiment. The quality factor is measured as Q = The slope is much steeper in the non-lorentzian lineshape resulting from coupling to the FP resonances. With the steeper slope of the asymmetric resonance, a detection limit of ~10 8 RIU in a 30-dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) system is obtained. Though Q is not extremely high, a significantly steeper slope of the resonance is obtained here and demonstrates our theory in practice. Taking into account the same end-facet reflection in reported ultra-high Q microring resonators (Q~10 6 ) [14], the combined resonance is shown in Fig. 4(b). The coupled resonance can still have a steeper slope within its asymmetric non-lorentzian lineshape. As a result, such a sensor can provide more sensitivity by exploiting the Si waveguide end-facet reflections. Fig. 4. (a) Resonances in a Si MR resonator.

6 4. Conclusion The spectra of Si MR resonators coupled with waveguides possessing an end-facet reflections are discussed theoretically and experimentally. The end-facet reflection in a Si waveguide forms a FP resonator that couples to the MR resonance, thus changing the Lorentzian MRresonance lineshape to a strongly asymmetric shape. The physics underlying this change in lineshape is closely related to the Fano lineshape [15], which results from a discrete resonance coupled to a continuum here the quasicontinuum of densely spaced FP resonances of the waveguide. The spectral slope is demonstrated to become steeper when the resonances of FP and MR have a π phase difference. This requirement is easy to meet because the long cavity of FP resonance leads to dense collection of resonances with small FSR. For applications that have much shorter L, an asymmetric resonance can also be obtained but by judicious choice of the parameter ϕ [9 12]. Therefore, our device can provide asymmetric resonance with easier design. Because a steeper slope is obtained in asymmetric resonance shape, Si MR resonators can provide enhanced sensitivity in chemical-detection application. Thus, this feature can reduce the stringent requirement of a high quality factor in MR resonators as in our demonstration experiment. With regard to device fabrication, this means there can be greater tolerance to imperfections in the MR and in the waveguide end facets. This is an effective method to produce inexpensive and easily fabricated chemical sensors.
