نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrically controlled wavelength switchable terahertz band pass filter based on photonic crystal structures with LC defect layer is proposed and discussed. The wavelength switching can be realized by reorienting liquid crystal molecules through adjusting the applied electric field. Numerical analyses results have shown that the proposed structure has the potential to realize electrically controlled terahertz filter with a high narrow transmission band and very sharp edges. What s more, the device can also function as a terahertz switch, and the theoretical extinction ratio of the device can reach more than 50dB

In this paper, we proposed a novel structure for designing all optical filter based on photonic crystal structure. In designing the proposed filter, we simply employed a point defect localized between input and output waveguides as wavelength selecting part of the filter. The initial form of this filter is capable of selecting optical waves at =1560 nm, the transmission efficiency of the filte...
