In this paper, we present a single nano ring resonator using Annular Photonic Crystal (APC) with ultra-compact size for applications in versatile optical network components. The proposed resonator is designed in the hexagonal lattice, made up of Silicon (Si) planar and annular rods, where the annular rods are filled with Silicon Nitride (Si3N4). Despite being pervasive, the proposed structure operates mostly in the C-band wavelength, providing high resonation, low insertion loss, high contrast ratio, and large bandwidth with low loss comprising a single resonator ring with photonic crystal waveguides. This structure is used to realize several high-performance optical network devices like optical ring resonator, 4 × 2 reversible encoder, 1 × 2 power splitter, and a multiplexer. Several parameters and their performances are optimized for this miniaturized photonic device using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. This device works in the quantum regime as a slow light device with a better squeeze factor enabling quantum computing. The proposed nanostructure, having a Quality factor (Q) of 396.05, is highly suitable for optical network applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
