Photonic crystal-based GE-PON triplexer using point defects

Abstract

In this paper, we newly propose an optical triplexer which is one of key components in Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network for Fiber-To-The-Home network. Based on a photonic crystal structure with local point defects, two types of optical triplexers were optimally designed. The size-tuned optical triplexer shows the extinction ratios of -17.8 dB, -14.4 dB, and -15.9 dB for the wavelengths of 1310nm, 1490nm, and 1550 nm, respectively. And the index-tuned optical triplexer shows the extinction ratios of -19.24dB, -17.09dB, and -22.68dB for the wavelengths of 1310nm, 1490nm, and 1550 nm, respectively. The size of the proposed optical triplexers were about 4 × 3 µm 2 .

Investigation on parameters affecting the performance of two dimensional photonic crystal based bandpass filter

“…In recent years, many PC based optical devices have been discussed theoretically and experimentally such as add-drop filters (Qiang et al 2007;Robinson and Nakkeeran 2011b), power splitters (Nozhat and Granpayeh 2007;Ghaffari et al 2008a), channel drop filters (Hwang and Song 2005;Djavid et al 2008b;Robinson and Nakkeeran 2010), multiplexers and demultiplexers (Manzacca et al 2007;Ghaffari et al 2008b), polarization beam splitters (Liu et al 2005;Zabelin et al 2007), triplexers (Park et al 2008;Shih et al 2009), switches , directional couplers (Moghaddam et al 2010), bandstop filters (Monifi et al 2008), bandpass filters (Costa et al 2003;Chao et al 2007;Djavid et al 2008a;Robinson and Nakkeeran 2011a) and so on.…”

Computational Characterization of a Photonic Crystal Cantilever Sensor Using a Hexagonal Dual-Nanoring-Based Channel Drop Filter

“…Many optical communication devices based on PhCs such as channel drop filters, power splitters, PhC coupler, and light sources are reported [11]- [15]. Particularly, the channel drop filter plays a key role in photonic integrated circuits (ICs) [15] because it integrates various functional elements, e.g., multiplexer [16], [17], switch [18], and directional coupler [19] together. Compared with conventional optical waveguide devices, PhC devices can perform the same function with their nanometric sizes, hence raising channel densities within a small chip of photonic ICs.…”
