Abstract:
In the examples provided herein, a system has a first racetrack resonant waveguide structure, positioned to enable an input light signal to couple from a first waveguide; and a second racetrack resonant waveguide structure, positioned to enable the input light signal to couple between the first racetrack resonant waveguide structure and the second racetrack resonant waveguide structure, and further positioned to enable an output light signal to couple from the second racetrack resonant waveguide structure to a second waveguide. The system also has a primary heating unit, positioned to heat a primary region including a first portion of the first racetrack resonant waveguide structure and a first portion of the second racetrack resonant waveguide structure, to change a central frequency and a passband width for the system.

Claim (Index 7):
An optical notch filter system comprising:\n a first set of racetrack resonant waveguide structures, positioned to enable a first output light signal that originates from an input waveguide and couples through each of the first set of racetrack resonant waveguide structures to couple to a first output waveguide by means of coupling between adjacent racetrack resonant waveguide structures; a second set of at least one racetrack resonant waveguide structure, positioned to enable a second output light signal that originates from the input waveguide and couples through each of the second set of at least one racetrack resonant waveguide structure to couple to a second output waveguide by means of coupling between an output set of adjacent racetrack resonant waveguide structures between the input waveguide and the second output waveguide that includes a racetrack resonant waveguide structure of the first set; and a primary heating unit, positioned to heat a primary region including portions of adjacent racetrack resonant waveguide structures, wherein the primary heating unit uses a primary controller to heat the portions of adjacent racetrack resonant waveguide structures simultaneously, to change a central frequency of at least one of the first output light signal and the second output light signal and a signal transfer function for the system.
