Abstract

We have designed photonic crystal based bandpass filters whose characteristics are suitable for WDM communication system. The filters consist of coupled point defect resonators in two-dimensional photonic crystal. The frequency response of coupled resonators has been analyzed by the coupling of modes in time, from which the design parameters for the coupled resonator filters have been extracted. For the appropriate choice of the design parameters, each resonator is treated as a lumped L-C resonance circuit, and from the analogy between the equivalent circuit and the standard L-C filter circuits, the design parameters are simply determined from the table for general filter circuit design. Based on the determined design parameters, a photonic crystal based filter has been designed and its performance has been calculated using the finite-difference time-domain method. The designed filter shows a pass band of 50GHz and 0.5 dB in-band ripple, which is suitable for typical WDM communication systems with 100GHz channel spacing.

본 논문에서는 2차원 광결정 공진기의 결합을 통해 WDM시스템에 적합한 특성을 가지는 공진 필터를 설계하였다. 공진기간의 결합에 있어서 고려해야 할 요소를 시영역에서의 모드 결합이론(coupling modes in time)을 적용하여 이론적으로 분석하였으며, 전자회로 등가화를 이용하여 쉽게 그 요소를 결정할 수 있음을 보였다. 공진기 결합에 있어서 공진기 간의 간격에 따른 위상천이에 대해서 외부감쇄에 의한 Q-factor를 조정함으로써 보상할 수 있음을 확인하였고, 2차원 광결정 점결함 공진기를 이용하여 500GHz의 대역폭을 가지며 통과대역에서 0.5 dB 리플을 가지는 3차 Chebyshev 대역 통과 필터를 설계하였다.
