Research thrusts in silicon photonics are developing control operations using higher order waveguide modes for next generation high-bandwidth communication systems. In this context, devices allowing optical processing of multiple waveguide modes can reduce architecture complexity and enable flexible on-chip networks. We propose and demonstrate a hybrid resonator dually resonant at the 1st and 2nd order modes of a silicon waveguide. We observe 8 dB extinction ratio and modal conversion range of 20 nm for the 1st order quasi-TE mode input.
