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...

in this article, the effect of cells' radius on the behavior of wavelength switching optical filter andthe effect of the radius of the optical filters' key characteristics such as wavelength resonance onan optical filter based on photonic crystals, have been investigated. currently, the most commonapplied mechanism for designing optical filter based on photonic crystals is using twomechanisms s...

In this paper, a four channel Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) network is designed by incorporating the proposed and designed Two Dimensional (2D) Photonic Crystal Ring Resonator (PCRR) based Add Drop Filter (ADF). The performance parameters of the network such as the received output power, Bit Error Rate (BER) and Q factor are examined for the bit rate of 10 Gbps over the fiber l...

We experimentally demonstrate a microelectromechanically (MEMS) tunable photonic ring resonator add-drop filter, fabricated in a simple silicon-on-insulator (SOI) based process. The device uses electrostatic parallel plate actuation to perturb the evanescent field of a silicon waveguide, and achieves a 530 pm resonance wavelength tuning, i.e., more than a fourfold improvement compared to previo...

here, we propose an optical filter and an optical power splitter based on two-dimensionalphotonic crystal all circular ring resonators. these structures are made of a square lattice ofsilicon rods with the refractive index n1=3.464 surrounded by air (with refractive indexn2=1). first, we have designed the filter and by using that, we designed a power splitter. thetransmission efficiency and qua...

We have designed a new type of optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on two dimensionaltriangular lattice photonic crystals. CDF operation is based on coupling to the photonic crystalwaveguide. The proposed structure is optimized to work as a CDF for obtaining the CDFcharacteristics and band structure of the filter the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method andplane wave expansion (PWE) ...
