Abstract
This paper investigates the transmission spectral characteristics of microfiber MZ interferometer with a knot resonator (MZIKR). The MZIKR exhibits a combined effect of resonance and interference in its transmission spectra. By adjusting the coupling coefficients to convert the relative strength of resonance and interference, the transmission spectra show various shapes, mainly reflected in the direction of fringes. The obtained upward fringe exhibits an extinction ratio of 17 dB and a FWHM of 0.3 nm. The tunable transmission spectrum demonstrated here may have great potential for narrow-band filtering, and the coexisting resonance and interference effect also allows the MZIKR to perform dual-parameters sensing.
