Abstract Transmission efficiency, quality factor, crosstalk levels and number of output channels are the most crucial parameters in designing optical demultiplexers, suitable for wavelength division multiplexing applications. In this paper we proposed an 8-channel optical demultiplexer based on photonic crystal ring resonator. For performing wavelength selection task we used eight ring resonators. The resonance wavelength of the ring resonators depends on the dimensions of the ring core, therefore we choose eight different values for the lattice constant of the ring resonators core section. The average channel spacing of the structure is about 3 nm the transmission efficiency in most of the channels is equal or more than 99 % except in one channels whose transmission efficiency is 85 %.

Abstract In this paper, we proposed optical filter based on two-dimensional photonic crystal elliptical channel for wavelength division multiplexing. We employed ring resonator with ellipse shaped core in proposed structure. The resonance wavelength of the ring resonators depends on two parameters: refractive index and radius of dielectric rods. We investigate the physical parameters governing the filter performance. Our results show that the transmission efficiency is 100 % due to nearly zero reflection and loss in channel. Band width of 4 nm and quality factor of 389 is obtained for filter. Also, the total footprint of proposed structure is 230.4 µm2 which makes it suitable for all optical integrated circuits.

Abstract A two dimensional Photonic Crystal (2DPC) based eight channel wavelength division demultiplexer is proposed and designed for Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) applications. The circular ring resonator, channel selector, circulator rod, L bend waveguide and linear bus waveguide are essential parts of the proposed system. The system’s functional parameters such as Transmission efficiency, resonant wavelength, spectral width, channel spacing, Quality factor and crosstalk are investigated in this paper. The eight different wavelengths of channels are filtered out by altering the size of channel selector rod, setting the radius of the circle shaped cavity and relative refractive index of circulator rod. Initially the Photonic Band gap (PBG) is manipulated by applying Plane Wave Expansion (PWE) method of the 2DPC structure. The functional parameters are analysed by Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method in periodic and non-periodic structure of the proposed system to arrive normalized transmission spectrum. The resonant wavelengths of designed eight paths of the device are varying from 1420nm to 1460nm with average spectral width and channel spacing are 5.8nm, 5.6nm respectively. The footprint of the device is 286.84µm2. Hence this small device can be implemented for CWDM systems in Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC).

AbstractIn this proposed work, we have designed two-dimensional photonic crystal ring resonator (2DPC-RR)-based eight-channel demultiplexer for dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) systems. The performance parameters of the proposed demultiplexer such as resonant wavelength, spectral width, quality factor, channel spacing and crosstalk are investigated. The demultiplexer consists of bus waveguide, quasi-square RR and L bend waveguides. Each quasi-square RR has eight-shaped microcavity with different refractive index, which plays an active role for channel selection. The plane wave expansion method is used to generate the modes and photonic band gap of the demultiplexer. The finite difference time domain method is employed to analysis the field distribution and normalized transmission of the proposed demultiplexer. The transmission efficiency, Q factor, spectral width and channel spacing of the demultiplexer are about 98 %, 2,022, 0.8 nm and 1.1 nm, respectively. The aforementioned results are meeting the requirements of the ITU-T G. 694.1 DWDM systems.

We propose a novel twelve-channel Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) demultiplexer, using the two-dimensional photonic crystal (2D PC) with square resonant cavity (SRC) of ITU-T G.694.1 standard. The DWDM demultiplexer consists of an input waveguide, SRC, and output waveguide. The SRC in the proposed demultiplexer consists of square resonator and microcavity. The microcavity center rod radius (Rm) is proportional to refractive index. The refractive index property of the rods filters the wavelengths of odd and even channels. The proposed microcavity can filter twelve ITU-T G.694.1 standard wavelengths with 0.2 nm/25 GHz channel spacing between the wavelengths. From the simulation, we optimize the rod radius and wavelength with linear regression analysis. From the regression analysis, we can achieve 95% of accuracy with an average quality factor of 7890, the uniform spectral line-width of 0.2 nm, the transmission efficiency of 90%, crosstalk of −42 dB, and footprint of about 784 μm2.

Abstract Increasing the speed of operation in all optical signal processing is very important. For reaching this goal one needs high speed optical devices. Optical half adders are one of the important building blocks required in optical processing. In this paper an optical half adder was proposed by combining nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonators with optical waveguides. Finite difference time domain method wase used for simulating the final structure. The simulation results confirmed that the rise time for the proposed structure is about 1 ps.

AbstractIn this work, we study and analyze the performance of Raman + Erbium-Ytterbium codoped fiber hybrid optical amplifier (HOA) for an ultradense wavelength division multiplexing (UD-WDM) system having 100 channels. The system has been investigated considering initial values of channel spacing and data rate of 0.1 nm (12.5 GHz) and 100 GB/s, respectively. Initially, the two important WDM system parameters—wavelength and channel spacing—have been selected and then optimization of the proposed HOA has been performed in terms of EYDFA length, pump power and Er+ concentration to achieve higher values of average gain, Q-factor and lower gain variation ratio. The optimized configuration of the HOA results in the achievement of higher value of average gain, Q-factor and gain variation ratio of 47 dB, 14 and 0.14, respectively, which confirms its viability for UD-WDM system applications.

A photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with a zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) in the telecommunication region is designed and an ultra-broadband fiber optical parametric amplifier (FOPA) based on such PCF is simulated. Results show that the PCF-based FOPA exhibits much higher gain with a very broad bandwidth (covering O- to U-band) in comparison with the highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF)-based FOPA. Also, the required fiber length and the input pump power are reduced for the PCF-based FOPA. The obtained results show the great potential of the PCF-based OPA for the telecommunication applications, e.g. amplification of wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) signals.
