Abstract
This paper determines the possibly maximum rate for the optical signal transmitting thorough the racetrack resonator devices. The method of finite-difference time-domain was employed to determine how an optical impulse getting through the device. We observe that the signal requires a certain number of round-trips to couple the signal to the throughput, and causes the delay of the pulse outputting from the device. This indicates that the possible pulse width is in a range of picoseconds, which corresponding to the maximum transmission rate of over a hundred gigabits per second. © 2005 IEEE.
