We report on a new synthesis method of reflection filters with multilayer and waveguide structures. The filter is characterized by bandwidth as small as ≤ 1 nm for effective use in wavelength-division-multiplexed optical communications. Both the transfer-matrix method and the Fourier transformation are employed to determine the filter reflection from a spatially varying refractive index. In con...

The rapidly growing optical communication market requires photonic components with ever-increasing functionality and complexity that can be fabricated reliably at low cost. Of the various approaches used to fabricate photonic components, those based on planar waveguides have achieved high performance and represent a promising path toward compact integration of optical functions. We present an o...

Since the achievable gain of transistors typically falls off as the frequency increases, an equalization filter with positive gain slope is necessary to compensate for the gain roll-off of broadband amplifiers. This paper proposed an novel equalizer structure and design a equalization filter by applying this novel structure and a modified SIW-PBG (Substrate Intergrated Waveguide-Photon BandGap)...

Design narrow-band compact filters, based on high-quality waveguide-dielectric resonators with anisotropic materials is the subject of this paper. Filter represents a segment rectangular waveguide rotated around longitudinal axis 90 degrees and containing one or more dielectric inserts that completely fill resonator along narrow wall partially wide one. A distinctive feature proposed filter hig...

A tunable eye-opening lattice filter for dispersion compensation is demonstrated on an ultra low-loss waveguide platform based on a compact high-aspect ratio Si3N4 core. A programmable 10th order lattice filter is demonstrated by cascading a total of 21 Mach-Zehnder interferometers with programmable delay lines of lengths designed at the baseband data rate. The filter has ...

A novel single-cavity dual mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) filter with mixed source-load coupling (MSLC) is presented. By using an interdigital slot-line (ISL) to introduce mixed coupling between source and load, the proposed filter with only one cavity could have three transmission zeros which can be controlled flexibly. Under the circumstances, the filter exhibits better frequency s...

A sound synthesis algorithm for the harpsichord has been developed by applying the principles of digital waveguide modeling. A modification to the loss filter of the string model is introduced that allows more flexible control of decay rates of partials than is possible with a one-pole digital filter, which is a usual choice for the loss filter. A version of the commuted waveguide synthesis app...

A new multi-layer substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure is developed to design dual-band evanescent-mode band-pass filters (BPFs). Two independent series LC circuits are implemented by incorporating metallic irises in the different layers of the structure. The combination of the metallic irises with capacitive-plates is embedded inside the SIW to independently excite two evane...
