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 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 ...

Photonic crystal design procedure for negative refraction has so far been based on trial and error. In this paper, for the first time, a novel and systematic design procedure based on physical and mathematical properties of photonic crystals is proposed to design crystal equi-frequency contours (EFCs) to produce negative refraction. The EFC design is performed by the help of rectangular stair-c...

ultra-short pulse is a promising technology for achieving ultra-high data rate transmission which is required to follow the increased demand of data transport over an optical communication system. therefore, the propagation of such type of pulses and the effects that it may suffer during its transmission through an optical waveguide has received a great deal of attention in the recent years. we...

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) ...
