A high quality two-dimensional photonic crystal filter made of polystyrene is fabricated by the method of focused ion beam etching. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmittance spectrum are used to characterize the properties of photonic crystal filter. The measured transmittance spectrum is in agreement with the theoretical one. It is found that the filtering properties of photonic crystal filter, including the position and quality factor of optical channel, can be tuned by adjusting the width of line defect.

Magnetically Tunable Terahertz Switch and Band-Pass Filter

A novel design of a tunable terahertz switch and band-pass filter using liquid-crystal-filled photonic crystal waveguide is demonstrated. The effects of magnetic field on the photonic bandgaps and transmitting properties of a THz wave are investigated by using the plane wave expansion method and finite difference time domain method. The efficient photonic bandgap tuning is predicted such that the two-dimensional liquid-crystal-filled photonie crystal waveguide can serve as a switch and continuously tunable band-pass filter with controlling of the magnetic field.     

A mid-infrared tunable filter in a semiconductor-dielectric photonic crystal containing doped semiconductor defect

In this work, we theoretically analyze tunable filtering properties in a semiconductor-dielectric photonic crystal (SDPC) containing doped semiconductor defect in the mid-infrared frequency region. We consider two possible configurations of filter structures, the symmetric and asymmetric ones. With a defect of the doped n-type semiconductor, n-Si, the resonant transmission peak can be tuned by varying the doping concentration, that is, the peak wavelength will be shifted to the position of lower wavelength for both structures. Additionally, by increasing the defect thickness, it is also possible to have a filter with multiple resonant peaks, leading to a multichannel filter. The results provide another type of tunable filter in the defective SDPC that could be of technical use for semiconductor applications in optical electronics.

WDM and DWDM optical filter based on 2D photonic crystal Thue–Morse structure

This paper describes elaboration of two dimensional photonic crystal structures based on Thue–Morse sequence. Our results establish that the optical properties of these aperiodic multilayer systems can be tailored by adjusting either the radius of some cells of the proposed structure or defect characteristics. We introduce a resonant cavity in the proposed structure to select desirable wavelengths for filtering. Bandwidth of selected wavelengths are about 1 nm and suitable for communication applications. Also, our simulations show that efficiency of the proposed structure is enough. The total footprint of proposed filter is 331.24 μm², therefore it is suitable to be integrated in all optical chips.     

High-<Emphasis Type="Italic">Q</Emphasis> filters based on one-dimensional photonic crystals using epsilon-negative materials

A new type of filter based on one-dimensional photonic crystals is presented. A photonic crystal consists of a periodic repetition of air layers and epsilon-negative (ENG) material layers. This type of filter has high-Q values without defects. The Q values and the filtering frequency can be precisely adjusted by modulating the thicknesses of the ENG material layers and the air layers, respectively. A method of deciding the position of the transmission band for the photonic crystals is presented. The effect of absorption of ENG materials on the filter is also considered.

Tunable All-Optical Filtering and Buffering in a Coupled Quantum Dot-Planar Photonic Crystal Structure

We theoretically investigate controlled tunable all-optical filtering and buffering of optical pulses in a hybrid nano-photonic structure, where a single quantum dot （QD） embedded in a photonic crystal nanocavity is sidecoupled between a bare nanocavity and a photonic crystal waveguide. We demonstrate that there is a sharp low-loss transmission peak in the transmission spectrum under even low QD-nanocavity coupling strength and the input optical pulses can be delayed up to several hundred picoseconds within the dephasing time of the QD. The filtering regime can be shifted readily by manipulating the detuning between the QD excitonic transition frequency and resonant frequency of the nanocavity mode, which can be explored in future for on-chip all-optical logic and signal processing.
