Popis: Abstract A photonic crystal ring resonator‐based 6 × 6 router has been designed and reported. The router is designed using silicon pillars with a refractive index of 3.47 perforated in the air background of refractive index 1 in a square lattice with a lattice constant of a = 562 nm. The router is designed to operate in the third optical window wavelength which has low loss and most widely used in optical communication systems and networks. Plane‐wave expansion and finite difference time domain method has been used to obtain the bandgap and performance of the designed router, which exhibits acceptable performance such as low insertion loss, low propagation delay, and low crosstalk. These routers will find applications in the photonic integrated circuit that paves a path to all‐optical networks.
