文摘We design a channel-drop filter(CDF)with a linear gradient microcavity in a two-dimensional(2D)photonic crystal(PC).The model of three-port CDF with reflector is used to achieve high quality factor(Q-factor)and 100%channel-drop efficiency.The research indicates that adjusting the distance between reference plane and reflector can simultaneously influence the Q-factor due to coupling to a bus waveguide and the phase retardation occurring in the round trip between a microcavity and a reflector.The calculation results of 2D finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)method show that the designed filter can achieve the drop efficiency of 96.7%and ultra-high Q-factor with an ultra-small modal volume.
