Design of Dual-resonator Six-channel WDM based on 2-D Photonic Crystal

针对全光通信网络容量和频谱效率问题,文章提出了一种基于二维(2-D)光子晶体点缺陷谐振腔与线缺陷波导耦合特性的双谐振腔6通道波分复用器(WDM)。运用2-D时域有限差分法进行性能参数分析,考虑相对折射率的影响,选择双谐振腔和单个直波导耦合的方式,实现了1 451、1 487、1 557、1 658、1 440和1 604 nm 6波长的波分复用。实验结果表明,该WDM具有高达218 nm的光谱覆盖范围,各通道的传输效率均高于91%,插入损耗均小于0.43 dB,通道间串扰均小于-9.2 dB,且大小也只有13.56μm×19.21μm,对光通信系统中粗波分复用非常有用,对于密集波分复用也有参考意义。

In order to solve the problem of all-optical communication network capacity and spectral efficiency, a two-cavity six-channel Wavelength Division Multiplexer(WDM) based on the coupling characteristics of point-defect cavity and line-defect waveguide of Two-Dimensional(2-D) photonic crystal is proposed in this paper. 2-D finite-difference time-domain method is used to analyze the performance parameters. Considering the influence of relative refractive index, the coupling mode of double resonators and single straight waveguide is selected to achieve the wavelength division multiplexing of 1 451, 1 487, 1 557, 1 658, 1 440 and 1 604 nm. The results show that the multiplexer has a spectral coverage of up to 218 nm, transmission efficiency of each channel higher than 91%, the insertion loss less than 0.43 dB, the cross-talk between channels less than-9.2 dB, and the size of only 13.56 μm×19.21 μm. It is very useful for coarse wavelength division multiplexing in optical communication systems, which also has reference significance for dense wavelength division multiplexing.
