Abstract
ABSTRACT Ring resonators have always been referred to as a highly flexible structure for designing optical devices. In this paper, we have designed and evaluated two 8-channel optical demultiplexers using photonic crystal ring resonators. The purpose of this study is to investigate the flexibility of this type of resonator for designing and manufacturing optical devices based on photonic crystals. To the extent that we have investigated the literature, there is no report so far on such a study. For this purpose, two structures with the same structural parameters, but only with a difference in the type of lattice constant (square or triangular) are used. Both structures have a common photonic band gap within a proper range for telecommunication applications used in wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) systems. Both designed structures have an average crosstalk of −26 dB. For the demultiplexer structure with a square lattice constant, the quality factor and the transmission coefficient are 3,046 and 93.7% respectively, and its channel spacing is 1.97 nm. For the structure with a triangular lattice constant, the quality factor and the transmission coefficient are 1577.7 and 94.5%, respectively and its channel spacing is equal to 4 nm. To obtain the photonic band gap of the structures, the plane wave expansion (PWE) method is used and the output spectrum of the structures is obtained using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The good results obtained in this study is through designing and simulating optical demultiplexer structures only by creating a change in the type of lattice constant used. This undoubtedly justifies the high flexibility of ring resonators, when used in the design of optical devices, as well as their suitability for the use in WDM systems
期刊介绍:
Fiber and Integrated Optics , now incorporating the International Journal of Optoelectronics, is an international bimonthly journal that disseminates significant developments and in-depth surveys in the fields of fiber and integrated optics. The journal is unique in bridging the major disciplines relevant to optical fibers and electro-optical devices. This results in a balanced presentation of basic research, systems applications, and economics. For more than a decade, Fiber and Integrated Optics has been a valuable forum for scientists, engineers, manufacturers, and the business community to exchange and discuss techno-economic advances in the field.
