Nanostructured photonic materials enable control and manipulation of light at subwavelength scales and exhibit unique optical functionalities. In particular, plasmonic materials and metamaterials have been widely utilized to achieve spectral transmission, reflection, and absorption filters based on localized or delocalized resonances arising from the interaction of photons with nanostructured m...

performance of the fiber optic networks with different physical topologies such as point-to-point, bus, ring and star, with respect to requirements as bit rates, topology structure, bit. error rate (ber) and optical component characteristics including optical amplifiers, filters, sources and detectors, are analyzed and simulated. for this purpose, maximum number of supportable nodes and throug...

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...

We use a numerical simulation to investigate the effectiveness of pinhole spatial filters at optical/IR interferometers and to compare them with single-mode optical fibre spatial filters and interferometers without spatial filters. We show that fringe visibility measurements in interferometers containing spatial filters are much less affected by changing seeing conditions than equivalent measur...

here, we propose an add-drop and a channel drop filter based on two-dimensional photonic crystal all circular ring resonators. these structures are made of a square lattice of silicon rods with the refractive index n1=3.464 surrounded by air (with refractive index n2=1). the broadest photonic band gap occurs at the filling ratio of r/a = 0.17. two linear defect w1 waveguides couple to the ring....
