Multi-channel 40 Gbit/s NRZ-DPSK demodulation using a single silicon microring resonator

We demonstrate simultaneous demodulation of multiple 40 Gbit/s WDM NRZ-DPSK channels using a single silicon microring resonator with FSR of 100 GHz. Bit error measurements show very good performances for both through and drop demodulations for all channels.
