Transient and steady state analysis of micro ring resonator array based photodetector in optical communication wavelength (linear and nonlinear operation)

Array of micro ring resonators based optical photodetectors is introduced and evaluated in this paper to operate in optical communication windows for broad band situation. In this work, we introduced an array of resonators to engineer the transfer function of the detector for broad band operation as well as very sharp edges. The electron and photon transport in the proposed structure is modeled based on rate equation and then transient and steady state behavior are extracted. Finally nonlinear operation added to the model and its effect on spectral behavior as well as transient operation is investigated.
