Township, Midnapur (East), WB 721171, India a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Article history: Free spectral range (FSR) expansion upto 705.39 THz has been achieved using quadruple optical ring Received 21 April 2012 resonator (QORR) made of high index contrast Silicon on insulator (SOI) waveguides. SOI waveguide not Accepted 24 August 2012 only takes care of bending loss, microrings made of SOI waveguides provide higher integration density because of its size. Group delay and resulting dispersion and finesse have been studied. Delay line signal processing technique coupled with Mason’s rule has been used to analyze the QORR performance. Vernier Keywords: principle has been used to enhance the FSR. FSR obtained in this work is the maximum to the best of Mason’s rule the author’s knowledge f
