We suggest a novel approach to soliton control and routing based on Bloch-wave filtering in periodic photonic structures. Taking a binary waveguide array as an example, we demonstrate that spatial solitons that belong to different spectral gaps can be selectively reflected from or transmitted through an engineered defect, which acts as a low- or high-pass filter for Bloch waves.

We demonstrate the monolithic integration of photonic crystal waveguides, a photonic crystal demultiplexer, a conventional waveguide and photodiodes in InGaAsP-based material. The photonic crystal demultiplexer consists of hexagonally arranged air holes. The inputted light at the wavelengths of 1530nm and 1550nm can be separated by the demultiplexing system.

One can increase the angular tolerance of resonant grating filters without modifying the spectral bandwidth by adding a second grating component parallel to the first one. The angular tolerance and the filter linewidth can be controlled by the designer in an independent way. Numerical results show that this property permits the use of waveguide-grating filters with standard collimated beams.

For more size reduction of the high temperature superconducting coplanar waveguide (CPW) bandpass filter (BPF), we introduce the design method of the meanderline CPW quarter-wavelength resonator BPF. The exact admittanceand susceptance-inverters are calculated by using the 2.5-dimensional electromagnetic field simulator. The prototype YBCO miniaturized BPF (center frequency =10GHz, n=3, band wi...
