Abstract
The longitudinal offset technique permits to improve
the accuracy of the coupling coefficients of integrated directional
couplers and provides designs that can be easily implemented
with current fabrication tolerances. In this work, we address
the additional degree of freedom offered by this technology in
order to tailor the differential group delay in coupled-resonator
optical filters. We ...

The longitudinal offset technique permits to improve
the accuracy of the coupling coefficients of integrated directional
couplers and provides designs that can be easily implemented
with current fabrication tolerances. In this work, we address
the additional degree of freedom offered by this technology in
order to tailor the differential group delay in coupled-resonator
optical filters. We present the characterization of several devices
exploiting this feature and we discuss their potential applications [--]
