Abstract

We have devised an ultra-small multi-channel drop filter based on a two-port resonant tunneling system in a two-dimensional photonic crystal with a triangular air-hole lattice. This filter does not require careful consideration of the interference process to achieve a high dropping efficiency. First we develop three-port systems based on a two-port resonant tunneling filter. Next we devise a multi-port channel drop filter by cascading these three-port systems. In this paper, we demonstrate a ten-channel drop filter with an 18 µm device size by 2D-FDTD calculation, and a three-port resonant tunneling filter with 65± 20 % dropping efficiency by experiment.

P1, P2, P3, and P4 are width-tuned waveguides with widths of W0, 0.95W0, W0, 0.95W0, respectively. The brackets indicate the waveguide boundaries. (b) The dotted lines are the transmission spectra of the width-tuned waveguides. The solid lines are the output signals of the three-port resonant tunneling filter at P2 and P3. (c) Magnetic field profile (Hz) in three-port resonant tunneling filter when the frequency is resonant. (d) Magnetic field profile when the frequency is in the common band of P1 and P2.

(a) Structure of ten-channel-drop filter composed of twelve width-tuned WGs (WG1 ~WG12) and ten three-point defect resonators (R1~R10). The waveguides and resonators are in sequence by subscript number from the input to the through port. The widths of WG1~WG12 are 1.00, 0.99, 0.98, 0.97, 0.96, 0.95, 0.94, 0.93, 0.92, 0.91, 0.90, 0.89 × W0, respectively. The widths of the R1~R10 are tuned by shifting the four holes on either side of the core to increase or reduce the core width, and their values are 1.09, 1.07, 1.05, 1.03, 1.01, 0.99, 0.97, 0.95, 0.933, 0.915×W0, respectively. The device size (L) is 18 µm when a=400 nm. (b) Calculated transmission spectra of ten-channel-drop filter. All the transmittance values are over 80% and the crosstalk between drop ports is less than -25 dB. This filter can function in the C-band when a=400 nm. (c) Dropping efficiencies and Q factors at each port
