Single loop and double loop filters based on silicon on insulator(SOI)are fabricated
and their filtering characteristics are studied.At the same time
the influence of optical coupling coefficient on the output characteristics of filters is analyzed.Aiming at the weak tuning ability of evanescent wave coupling structure
an improved structure of Mach Zehnder interferometer(MZI)coupler is proposed.The length of micro ring cavity is 1 218 μm.For single and double loop filters
when the electrode power is in the range of 18~37 mW and 20~29 mW respectively
the filter can be tuned from under coupling to critical coupling
and the center wavelength of the double loop filter shifts by 1 nm in the range of 0~26 mW
