Add-drop system for Kerr bistable memory in silicon nitride microrings

Abstract

We numerically studied the required conditions for achieving a memory operation based on Kerr bistability in the presence of the thermo-optic effect in silicon nitride microring cavity systems. By comparing a side-coupled system and an add-drop system, we found that the latter is needed to realize obtain Kerr bistable operation. In addition, we show the coupling coefficient range in which the memory operation does not suffer from the thermo-optic effect.
