High quality factor bandpass filters based on a number of cascaded resonators of dual-resonance mechanism are proposed in the present paper. Each resonator is constructed as two overlapped coplanar waveguide (CPW) resonant structures. The cascaded resonators mediate microwave coupling between two isolated corner-shaped CPW feeders only at the resonant frequencies leading to a bandpass filter of high quality factor. The two resonant frequencies and the separation between them can be fine-tuned by the dimensions of the structure. The effects of the dimensional parameters of the resonator and the feeding CPW regions on the resonant frequencies and the performance of the bandpass filter are investigated. The effect of the loss tangent of the dielectric substrate material on the quality factors at the two resonant frequencies is studied. Three prototypes of the proposed filter are fabricated and experimentally studied for more understanding of the underlying physical principles of operation and for verifying some of the simulation results. The experimental results show good agreement when compared with the corresponding simulation results. It is shown that, at low enough absolute temperature, the proposed structure can operate as superconducting microwave resonator when made from the appropriate materials. Also, it is shown that an optimized design of the proposed bandpass filter, based on superconducting CPWR structure, can achieve quality factors high enough to form a quantum data bus for hybrid architecture of quantum information systems.

A tunable bondwire inductor (TBI) with high-quality factor and wide tuning range is presented. The proposed TBI is fabricated on a single chip by combining a single-pole four-throw (SP4T) switch integrated circuit (IC) and four bondwire inductors on a package substrate. The SP4T switch IC is fabricated using 180 nm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The fabricated TBI chip exhibits a 521% tuning range of inductance from 1.77 to 11 nH at 0.1 GHz and a relatively high-quality factor. To the knowledge of the authors, the results of this work demonstrate the best combined performance of inductance tuning range and quality factor.

AbstractAs light propagates along a waveguide, a fraction of the field can be reflected by Rayleigh scatterers. In high-quality-factor whispering-gallery-mode microresonators, this intrinsic backscattering is primarily caused by either surface or bulk material imperfections. For several types of microresonator-based experiments and applications, minimal backscattering in the cavity is of critical importance, and thus, the ability to suppress backscattering is essential. We demonstrate that the introduction of an additional scatterer into the near field of a high-quality-factor microresonator can coherently suppress the amount of backscattering in the microresonator by more than 30 dB. The method relies on controlling the scatterer position such that the intrinsic and scatterer-induced backpropagating fields destructively interfere. This technique is useful in microresonator applications where backscattering is currently limiting the performance of devices, such as ring-laser gyroscopes and dual frequency combs, which both suffer from injection locking. Moreover, these findings are of interest for integrated photonic circuits in which back reflections could negatively impact the stability of laser sources or other components.
