An original non-destructive characterization method of basic components of photonic integrated circuits in a wide frequency range is proposed. The method allows extracting a frequency-dependent coupling coefficient of the microring resonator with a straight waveguide, as well as the attenuation coefficient, group refractive index and dispersion coefficient of rectangular optical waveguide from the measured transmission characteristics of the microring resonator serving as a test element. An efficiency of the proposed characterization method is demonstrated for photonic integrated circuits fabricated by a silicon-on-insulator technology in the frequency range of 184-197 THz (which corresponds to the wavelength range of 1520-1630 nm). Obtained waveguide parameters are used for modeling the transmission characteristics of the photonic integrated circuits that are in good agreement with experimental data. Keywords: photonic integrated circuits, optical waveguides, silicon-on-insulator, non-destructive characterization methods.
