Abstract

The multi-wavelength selection and switching system using the hybrid plasmonic add-drop ring resonator (HPARR) for optical communication is proposed for multi-carrier super-channel-based designed. The plasmonic polariton technique applied in the ring resonator mode to the alternate waveguide interferometer switches the multi-wavelength laser emission in the various ranges. The combination of curvature-coupled plasmon ring and substances with different refractive index allows switching the multi-wavelength emission to shorter the free spectrum range (FSR) and specific wavelengths, without an applied pump signal or adjusted the ring size. It is suitable for the super-channel of wavelength division multiplex (WDM) in the future optical network.
