Photonic crystal ring resonators (PCRRs) are traditional structures fordesigning optical channel drop filters. In this paper, Photonic crystal channel drop filter(CDFs) with a new configuration of ring resonator is presented.

In this paper, a channel drop ring resonator filter based on two dimensional photonic crystal is proposed which is suitable for all optical communication systems. The multilayer of silicon rods in the center of resonant ring enables one to adjust resonant wavelength of the ring and enhance power coupling efficiency between ring and waveguide. Refractive index and radius of multilayer rods insid...

In this paper a new optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhC) with hexagonal shaped structure is proposed and numerically demonstrated by using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) and plane-wave-expansion (PWE) techniques. Photonic crystals (PhCs) are artificial dielectric nanostructure materials in which a periodic modulation of the material ...

The add/drop wavelength filter is an essential component in the new-generation photonic network. Microring resonator filters using high index contrast (HIC) optical waveguides are recently attracting attention as add/drop filters owing to their compactness, functionality such as dispersion compensation, and ease of filter synthesis. In particular, the vertically coupled microring resonator (VCM...

in this paper, we proposed a novel structure for designing all optical filter based on photonic crystal structure. in designing the proposed filter, we simply employed a point defect localized between input and output waveguides as wavelength selecting part of the filter. the initial form of this filter is capable of selecting optical waves at =1560 nm, the transmission efficiency of the filte...

We analyze theoretically the output efficiencies of surface-emitting channel drop filters using channel drop tunneling processes in two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs. By using the channel drop tunneling processes, the output efficiencies of the filters can be easily improved to the values much higher than 50%, the maximum output efficiency of surface-emitting channel drop filters using one...
