Abstract
The optical channel drop filters (CDFs) based on photonic crystals (PCs) are believed to be the essential components for compact photonic integrated circuits and WDM systems. One of the promising designs for a PC-CDF is based on the photonic crystal ring resonators (PCRRs). In this study, different parameters of a PCRR based CDF is optimized by using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method in conjunction with the numerical method of two-dimensional (2D) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) in a square lattice dielectric-rod 2D-PC. Hence a PC-CDF with ideal drop efficiency, large free spectral range (FSR) and acceptable quality factor will be proposed.
