Abstract

Optical ring resonators have the potential to be integral parts of large scale photonic circuits. My thesis theoretically analyzes parallel coupled double ring resonators (DRRs) in detail. The analysis is performed using the method of equating fields (MEF) which provides an in depth understanding about the transmitted and reflected light paths in the structure. Equations for the transmitted and reflected fields are derived; these equations allow for unequal ring lengths and coupling coefficients. Sanity checks including comparison with previously studied structures are performed in the final chapter in order to prove the correctness of the obtained results.
