Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 電機工程學系研究所 === 95 === Due to the property of the photonic crystal, like bandgap, many researches on them are discussed. Photons with wavelength within the bandgap cannot propagate through the crystal. Then placing some defects in the crystal, because the periodic arrangement is destroyed, it is possible to build a waveguide to guide light along certain path. One kind is coupled cavity waveguide. The photons can propagate in a coupled-cavity waveguide by coupling without radiation losses. So it is widely used to implement a variety of optical devices.
In this thesis, we use coupled cavity waveguide to construct devices. And the characteristics of Mach-Zehnder interferometer and power splitter are discussed. Then we propose two logic gate structures with an input port and two control ports. The state of control port determines the electric field at the output port. Besides, the four-port channel drop filter is proposed. It will make the three wavelengths ─1310, 1490 and 1550 nm─ propagate in different waveguides. So it could be used as a wavelength demultiplexer for FTTH. Finally, the property of the PC-based rat-race circuit is investigated. By adjusting the phase of the control signal, we could decide the input signal to exit from output 1 or output 2. In this way, we could use it to function as a switch.
