Optimization of a 2D photonic crystal add/drop multiplexer based on contra-directional coupling
Source abstract
Abstract
We present a highly integrated add/drop multiplexer, where the contra-directional coupling is realized by phase matching two photonic crystal waveguides. The device band structure, the corresponding transmission and drop spectra, and the coupling length are carefully analysed. Different device configurations are discussed and by tailoring the coupling factor, we optimize the frequency response of the filter, obtaining a μ-sized channel selector, characterized by a very high drop efficiency.
