Abstract:

In this paper, a new design of optical channel drop filter based on two- dimensional photonic crystal ring resonators with triangular lattice is proposed. The rods of this structure is silicon with the refractive index 3.46 and the surrounding environment is air with the refractive index of 1.The widest photonic band gap obtained is for filling ratio of r/a = 0.2. The filter’s transmission spectrum is calculated using the two-dimensional (2D) finite-difference time-domain (2D-FDTD) numerical method. The simulation shows 100% dropping efficiency and suitable quality factor at 1519.4 nm wavelength achieved for this filter. Also, in this paper, we investigate parameters which have an effect on resonant wavelength and transmission spectrum in this CDF, such as refractive index of inner rods and whole of dielectric rods of the structure. The overall size of the structure is small that is 14 μm × 14μm which is suitable for photonic integrated circuits (PIC) and optical communication network applications.

Add-Drop and Channel-Drop Optical Filters Based on Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators

Here, we propose an add-drop and a channel drop filter based on two-dimensional photonic crystal all circular ring resonators. These structures are made of a square lattice of silicon rods with the refractive index n1=3.464 surrounded by air (with refractive index n2=1). The broadest photonic band gap occurs at the filling ratio of r/a = 0.17. Two linear defect W1 waveguides couple to the ring....

Design of a new narrow band channel drop filter based on photonic crystal ring resonator

In this design an optical ring resonator are embedded between two Horizontal input and output waveguides which has 4 orbitals around the center of the resonator so that each orbital consists of 8 rods with different size in which radius of larger orbitals rods are bigger than radius of smaller orbitals rods. The analysis of simulation results showed the proposed filter has the transmission effi...
