Abstract:
In the examples provided herein, a system includes an input waveguide, where a first end of the input waveguide is coupled to a light-emitting optical transmitter to allow the emitted light to enter the input waveguide, and a first ring resonator tunable to be resonant at a first resonant wavelength, wherein the first ring resonator is positioned near the input waveguide to couple a light at the first resonant wavelength from the input waveguide to the first ring resonator. The system also has a bus waveguide positioned to couple the light at the first resonant wavelength in the first ring resonator to the bus waveguide, and a mechanism to wavelength-tune the first ring resonator to a particular wavelength.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of multiplexing data with ring resonators comprising:\n allowing light at a first wavelength channel to couple from an input waveguide to a number of ring resonators; and modulating a resonant wavelength of the number of ring resonators such that the light at the first wavelength channel coupled into the ring resonators carries data, and the data is multiplexed onto a bus waveguide via the number of ring resonators, wherein each of the number of ring resonators is resonant at a same wavelength, wherein the number of ring resonators are positioned such that the first wavelength channel from a first ring resonator couples sequentially via each of the number of ring resonators to a last of the number of ring resonators, and the first ring resonator is positioned near the input waveguide to couple the optical signal at the first wavelength channel in the first input waveguide to the first ring resonator, wherein the bus waveguide is positioned near the last ring resonator to multiplex the optical signal at the first wavelength channel in the last ring resonator to the bus waveguide.
