Abstract
We design a compact ring resonator of surface modes based on photonic crystals (PCs). The structure is formed by sandwiching a surface mode ring waveguide (SMRW) into two parallel surface mode waveguide (SMW) based on two dimensional (2D) PCs. The SMRW is created on the surface of a circular photonic crystal (CPC) structure, where the wave propagates with high transmission efficiency. As a fundamental mode is introduced in the input SMW, at certain frequencies, the SMRW modes are enhanced because of resonance and the light-waves are coupled to the output SMW. It is demonstrated by the simulation results that the surface mode ring resonator has a low radiation loss with a very small size because of the good wave-guiding of surface mode based on PCs, and can be used in the future wavelength division multiplex (WDM) optics communication systems.
