A cross-ring (CR-) Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) interleaver structure has been proposed and fabricated. It uses an '8' shaped cross-ring resonator to replace the conventional circular ring resonator. Thus, the new structure can have the function of add-signal. Furthermore, a thermo-optical fine tuning has been applied, which improves the crosstalk performance from approximately -10 dB to approximately -20 dB with 9 V applied on the heater of the 3-dB directional coupler.
