A new compact microstrip bandpass filter design is introduced in this paper as a candidate for use in modern wireless communication systems. The proposed filter structure is composed of two fractal-based microstrip resonators. The structure of each resonator is in the form of the Hilbert fractal curve geometry. Two microstrip single-mode resonators with structures based on the 3rd and 4th itera...

A dual-band artificial magnetic material and then a dual-band double-negative metamaterial structure based on symmetric spiral resonators are presented. An approximate analytical model is used for the initial design of the proposed structures. The electromagnetic parameters of the proposed metamaterial structure retrieved using an advanced parameter retrieval method based on the causality princ...

Whispering gallery mode resonators are small, radially symmetric dielectrics that trap light through continuous total internal reflection. The resonant condition at which light is efficiently confined within the structure is linked with refractive index, which has led to the development of sensitive label-free sensing schemes based on whispering gallery mode resonators. One resonator design use...

A wavelength-selective 2-order 1-by-8-port optical multicast filter bank is demonstrated utilizing microring resonators, achieving ~2.6× faster roll-off than 1-order design while maintaining highly uniform responses among all eight drop ports.

Microphotonic filters require precise control of the relative resonance frequencies of integrated dielectric micro-cavities. Using high-index-contrast microring resonators, we present, demonstrate, and analyze techniques allowing small and accurate corrections of resonance frequencies at fabrication. ©2006 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (230.3120) Integrated optics devices; (230.4000) M...

We measure the group delay in an on-chip photonic-crystal device with two resonators side coupled to a waveguide. We demonstrate that such a group delay can be controlled by tuning either the propagation phase of the waveguide or the frequency of the resonators.

A new approach to modeling the spatial intensity profile from Porro prism resonators is proposed based on rotating loss screens to mimic the apex losses of the prisms. A numerical model based on this approach is presented which correctly predicts the output transverse field distribution found experimentally from such resonators.

We demonstrate an ultra-sensitive sensor realized in high quality circular semiconductor micro-cavities employing radial Bragg reflectors. Resolution enhancement by a factor of ten, compared to conventional ring resonators, is demonstrated experimentally. ©2005 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 230.5750 Resonators; 280.3420 Laser sensors

We study experimentally the dynamic tunability and self-induced nonlinearity of split-ring resonators incorporating variable capacitance diodes. We demonstrate that the eigenfrequencies of the resonators can be tuned over a wide frequency range, and significantly, we show that the self-induced nonlinear effects observed in the varactor-loaded split-ring resonator structures can appear at relati...

sensors for reducing disturbing influences from the radio channel as well as the separation of the sensor element from the SAW device into the matching network are already presented [1]. Here the change of the difference frequency is the sensor signal. Corrected matching was used to integrate the sensor function in the matching network [2], e.g. as a capacitive sensor. For passive wireless sens...
