“…7 In recent years, many PC-based optical devices have been proposed both theoretically and experimentally. To name a few, add-drop filters, 2 power splitters, [8][9][10][11] multiplexers and demultiplexers, [12][13][14] triplexers, 15 switches, 16 directional couplers, 17 bandstop filters, 18 bandpass filters, 19 and waveguides. 20 In this paper, an overview of reported PCRR-based ADFs, such as square/quasi-square-shaped PCRR, 2,21,22 dual curved-shaped PCRR, 23 hexagonal-shaped PCRR, 24,25 45-deg square-shaped PCRR, 26 diamond-shaped PCRR, 27 and X-shaped PCRR 28 are discussed in detail.…”
