Novel add-drop filter based on serial and parallel photonic crystal ring resonators (PCRR)

Abstract Photonic crystal ring resonators (PCRR) as momentous candidates for future photonic crystal integrated circuits (PCICs) draw worldwide attention. In this paper, different configurations are proposed based on single, parallel, and serial PCRRs. To be precise, the different coupling lengths and alignments have been discussed in double and triple PCRRs in parallel and serial configurations to achieve the highest efficiency concerning the desired applications such as an add-drop filter (ADF) and a power splitter. Moreover, in the achieved optimum double and triple PCRRs, the effect of coupling radius change has been discussed.
