Abstract
We present an all fiber-optic add/drop device based on a taper-resonator-taper structure with improved characteristics. Several gigahertz bandwidths are observed using microspheres having diameters ranging from 30 to 50 μm. Extinction ratios as high as 26 dB of the dropped channel are obtained due to nearly ideal coupling and phase matching between the fiber tapers and the small resonator. This is the first time that bit-error rate (BER) measurements have been performed on such couplers. For a device with an optical bandwidth of 3.8 GHz, the BER shows less than 2-dB penalty at 5 Gbit/s and no signs of an error floor.
