    Figures & Tables(5)
    (a) Coupling structure from a pulley bus waveguide to a ring resonator; (b) cross section of the coupling system composed of the pulley bus waveguide and the microring resonator; θ corresponds to the angle of the interaction part between the two curved waveguides. R represents the radius of the microring. Wring and Wbus represent the width of the ring and the bus waveguide, respectively. H represents the thickness of the structure. Hetch represents the etching depth. G represents the distance between the microring and the waveguide. α represents the inclination of the waveguide.
