Popis: Channel-drop filters (CDFs) with photonic crystal slabs–connected between silicon channel waveguides and fabricated on an SOI wafer–were designed and fabricated and these demonstrated wavelength division demultiplexing. Results simulated with the two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain and plane-wave methods demonstrated that considering the impedance profile, which is directly correlated with the reflective coefficient at the highly reflective interface, is essential in designing a highly drop-efficient CDF structure. The fabricated filters attained a drop efficiency above 95% at around a wavelength of 1.6 μm and a dropping bandwidth of 1.5 nm.
