In this work the analytical model of the scattering response of a highly Yb^3+/Er^3+-codoped phosphate glass microring resonator array is developed. The microscopic statistical formalism is used to simulate its performance as a wavelengthselective amplifier. The performance of the integrated add-drop filter was investigated based on the signal transfer functions for Through and Drop ports, correlated the with gain coefficient and its dependence on pump power, signal power and Yb^3+/Er^3+- dopants concentration. In consequence, microring arrays with gain operating in the near infrared spectral range and, in particular, in the 1.5-mm wavelength band (emission band of Er-doped fiber amplifiers and lasers, already used in several bio/chemical sensing tasks) are highly attractive.
