In this paper, we have proposed a tunable two dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PhC) channel drop filter (CDF) using ring resonators with suitable quality factor (Q) and transmission efficiency; we investigate parameters which have an effect on resonant wavelength in this CDF, such as dielectric constant of inner, coupling, adjacent and whole rods of the structure. Dropping efficiency at the r...

In this paper using nested Rectangular resonator we have designed an add-drop filter based on photonic crystal structures suitable for optical communication applications. The drop efficiency and the quality factor of our proposed filter is 100% and 2508. In this filter the quality factor is significantly improved with respect to other published reports. The simulation results are obtained using...

the thermo-hydraulic behavior of the air flow over a two dimensional ribbed channel wasnumerically investigated in various rib-width ratio configurations (b/h=0.5-1.75) atdifferent reynolds numbers, ranging from 6000 to 18000. the capability of differentturbulence models, including standard k-ε, rng k-ε, standard k-ω, and sst k-ω, inpredicting the heat transfer rate was compared with the experi...

Among various photonic crystal devices, ultra compact channel drop filters based on resonance coupling between waveguide modes of line defects and cavity modes of point defects have attracted researchers attention due to the substantial demand in wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) optical communication systems. We will investigate the properties of resonant modes which arise from the introdu...

In this paper, we have proposed a new design of two dimensional (2D) photonic crystal (PhC) Tunable channel drop filter (CDF) using ring resonators. The increasing interest in photonic integrated circuits (PIC's) and the increasing use of all-optical fiber networks as backbones for global communication systems have been based in large part on the extremely wide optical transmission bandwid...

Abstract Free-spectral-range (FSR)-free optical filters have always been a critical challenge for photonic integrated circuits. A high-performance FSR-free filter is highly desired communication, spectroscopy, and sensing applications. Despite significant progress in filters, the with tunable narrow-band, high out-of-band rejection, large fabrication tolerance has rarely demonstrated. In this p...

In this chapter, we consider the estimation of a dynamical system over a wireless fading channel using a Kalman filter. We develop a framework for understanding the impact of stochastic communication noise, packet drop and the knowledge available on the link qualities on Kalman filtering over fading channels. We consider three cases of “full knowledge”, “no knowledge” and “partial knowledge”, b...
