In this paper, the channel drop filter based on two dimensional photonic crystal is proposed. The structure is made of silicon rods with the refractive index n1 = 3.4641 which are perforated in air with refractive index n2 = 1. The simulation results are obtained using 2D finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The photonic band gap is calculated by plane wave expansion solver method. Resonant mode of the ring resonator and the filter transmission spectrum is calculated using 2D FDTD method. Full width half maximum (FWHM) bandwidth of the filter at the output transmission spectrum from 1.508 μm to 1.512 μm is 4 nm. The quality factor of the filter is 377.5 and the proposed filter design is around 21 × 15 μm which is suitable for photonic integrated circuits.

A four-port optical circulator based on two-dimensional square lattice photonic crystals is reported. It is simple besides the brief framework. The crystalline geometrical structure of the circulator makes 90° non-reciprocal transmissions of electromagnetic waves with low insertion loss and high levels of isolation by the diligence of magneto-optic crystals. The structure is novel because it uses a resonant cavity with a simple design. Also, in comparison to prior models, the proposed four-port circulator utilizes a two-dimensional square lattice crystal structure with a cylindrical ferrite section of the π/4 Faraday angle. The finite element method is used for this anisotropic medium to get the tensor elements in this simulation. The importance of the gyromagnetic properties of ferrite crystals for the non-reciprocal transmission is investigated. Furthermore, the corresponding S-parameters for this circulator are analyzed and reported. Due to the compact size and ease of fabrication, this device can be realized for applications such as splitting and isolation in photonic integrated circuits.
