Definitions
- the present invention relates to a frequency filter for extracting light or electromagnetic waves having a predetermined frequency from a waveguide.
- This frequency filter is used in the field of optical communication and the like. Background art
- wavelength division multiplexing In optical communication, wavelength division multiplexing is used, in which light of multiple wavelengths (frequency) is propagated on a single transmission line and individual signals are placed on each to increase the amount of information that can be transmitted per unit time. Have been.
- this wavelength division multiplexing method light of each wavelength is mixed at the entrance side of the transmission line, and the mixed light is extracted for each wavelength at the exit side. Therefore, an optical multiplexer / demultiplexer or a wavelength filter (frequency filter) is required.
- Array waveguide gratings are currently used as such duplexers.
- a silica-based optical waveguide is usually used in an arrayed waveguide diffraction grating, and in order to reduce light loss, a large one having a size of several cm square has to be used at present.
- a frequency filter using a photonic crystal is being studied.
- a photonic crystal is an optically functional material having a periodic refractive index distribution, and forms a band structure with respect to the energy of photons.
- it is characterized in that an energy region (photonic band gap) where light cannot be propagated is formed.
- an energy level (defect level) due to the defect is formed in the photonic band gap. This allows only light having a frequency corresponding to the energy of the defect level to exist in the frequency range corresponding to the energy in the photonic band gap. If the defect in the crystal is made linear, it becomes an optical waveguide that propagates light of a predetermined frequency. If the defect in the crystal is made dot-shaped, it becomes an optical resonator that resonates with light of a predetermined frequency.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a two-dimensional photonic crystal having a periodic refractive index distribution by periodically arranging cylindrical holes in a triangular lattice shape. It describes that a waveguide is formed by linearly deficient holes ([0025], FIG. 1) and a point defect is formed near the waveguide ([0029], FIG. 1). In Patent Document 1, as an example, a point defect formed by enlarging the diameter of periodically arranged cylindrical holes is examined.
- a demultiplexer that extracts light having a point-defect resonance frequency out of light propagating in the waveguide and a multiplexer that introduces light having a point-defect resonance frequency into the waveguide from outside are manufactured. Is done.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a class defect having two or more different refractive index regions adjacent to each other among the different refractive index regions forming a periodic refractive index distribution.
- the defect in the different refractive index region is formed by making the refractive index of the different refractive index region different from that of the other different refractive index regions.
- a defect having a higher refractive index than the other refractive index regions is referred to as a donor-type defect, and a defect having a lower refractive index is referred to as an x-ray defect.
- Patent Document 1 The defect formed by enlarging the cylindrical hole described in Patent Document 1 is an acceptor type defect, and the defect formed by not providing a different refractive index region is a donor type defect.
- a cluster defect and a point defect formed by losing only one anomalous refractive index region are collectively called a “point defect”.
- Patent Document 2 further includes a plurality of forbidden band regions in which different refractive index regions are arranged at different periods, and an in-plane heterostructure in which a point defect is provided in each of the forbidden band regions. Crystals are described. As a result, even when a point defect having the same shape is provided in each forbidden band region, each point defect resonates with light having a different frequency due to a difference in the period of the different refractive index regions.
- Patent Document 3 discloses that two linear waveguides are provided in a two-dimensional photonic crystal, and a point defect is provided between the two linear waveguides (Patent Document 3). (See Fig. 3 and Fig. 8 in Fig. 3). With this configuration, light having the resonance frequency of the point defect is introduced from one waveguide to the other waveguide. This is a multiplexer. Also, one of the waveguides It also functions as a duplexer that propagates light in which a plurality of frequencies are superimposed and extracts only light of a predetermined frequency from the light to the other waveguide.
- Patent Document 3 has a problem that light including components other than a predetermined frequency is transmitted and received between the two waveguides at positions other than the point defect, and signal crosstalk occurs. .
- an optical demultiplexer and an optical multiplexer using a two-dimensional photonic crystal have been described as examples, but the same applies to not only light but also electromagnetic waves.
- a similar problem also occurs in the optical frequency filter (wavelength filter) and the electromagnetic wave frequency filter.

That is, the distance between the input waveguide and the output waveguide is minimized within a predetermined range, and a resonator is provided between the input waveguide and the output waveguide within the predetermined range.
- the reason for such a configuration is as follows. In this electromagnetic wave frequency filter, the input waveguide and the resonator are energetically coupled, and similarly, the resonator and the output waveguide are energetically coupled.
- An electromagnetic wave having the resonance frequency of the resonator is transmitted and received between.
- the intensity of electromagnetic waves directly transmitted and received without passing through a resonator increases. This is not desirable because electromagnetic waves having frequencies other than the resonance frequency of the resonator are also transmitted and received. To avoid this, it is desirable that the distance between the input waveguide and the output waveguide be large outside the range where the resonator exists.
- the electromagnetic wave frequency filter of the present invention has the above-described configuration.
- An electromagnetic wave frequency filter having the same configuration as that of the duplexer can be used as a multiplexer for introducing an electromagnetic wave of a predetermined frequency from the “output waveguide” to the “input waveguide” in the duplexer.

It can be made to pass efficiently. Further, it is possible to make it difficult for electromagnetic waves, which are noise other than the predetermined frequency, to pass through the bent portion, thereby reducing noise.

Thereby, the two reflected waves are weakened by interference, and the intensity of the electromagnetic wave introduced into the resonator can be increased.
- the phase may change depending on the configuration of the resonator when the electromagnetic wave is reflected by the resonator.
- this distance shall be (2n-1) / 4 times the resonance wavelength. If the phase of the electromagnetic wave is inverted only at one of the reflections of the resonator or the reflector, and the phase does not change at the other reflection, this distance is set to n / 2 times the resonance wavelength.

Divide the main body into the same number of regions as the number of types of frequencies to be demultiplexed. This area is called a forbidden band area. Different refractive index regions are arranged at different periods for each forbidden band region so that a common forbidden band region is formed. An input waveguide is formed by continuously providing defects in the different refractive index region linearly so as to pass through the entire forbidden band region. An output waveguide is provided for each forbidden band region such that the distance from the input waveguide is minimized in a predetermined range. A point defect (resonator) is provided in the predetermined range between each output waveguide and the input waveguide.
- This point defect is desirably a donor-type point defect as described above.

- the forbidden band regions are arranged in the ascending or descending order of the resonance frequency in the direction in which the electromagnetic wave propagates in the input waveguide. Forbidden band in ascending order of resonance frequency When the regions are arranged, the period of the different refractive index region is reduced in that order, and when the forbidden band regions are arranged in descending order, the period of the different refractive index region is increased in that order. This makes it possible to prevent a part of the transmission frequency band of the input waveguide in each forbidden band region from being included in the input waveguide transmission frequency band of the forbidden band region adjacent in the propagation direction of the superposed wave. . For each forbidden band region, a resonator having a frequency included in the partial transmission frequency band as a resonance frequency is provided.

May be provided, and the boundary may be used as a reflection portion.
- the use of a material whose refractive index changes due to an external effect in the resonator enables the extraction or introduction of electromagnetic waves to the output waveguide to be turned ON / OFF, and the detection of the leakage of electromagnetic waves from the resonator leads to the input conduction.
- the ability to detect the intensity of electromagnetic waves transmitted and received between the waveguide and each output waveguide can be similarly applied to in-plane heterostructures and two-dimensional photonic crystal electromagnetic wave frequency filters. .
- the distance between the input waveguide and the output waveguide is reduced within a predetermined range where the resonator exists, and the distance between the input and output waveguides is increased in other cases. Can be transmitted and received between the input waveguide and the output waveguide via the resonator.

- FIG. 9 (b) shows the transmittance of the electromagnetic wave frequency band in the case of Fig. 8 And the results of calculating the reflectivity by the FDTD method (time domain difference method).
- the radius of the holes 121 in FIG. 8 was 0.23a (a is the arrangement period of the holes 12), and the radius of the other holes 12 was 0.29a.
- the normalized frequency maximizing the dimension by multiplying the frequency by a / c (c is the speed of light)
- the resonance frequency of the three-deficient linear donor-type cluster defect is matched with 0.267 (normalized frequency), so that an electromagnetic wave having a predetermined frequency can be efficiently transmitted.
- the resonance frequency of the resonator and the frequency of the maximum transmittance of the bent portion are both proportional to the arrangement period a. Therefore, if the resonator and the bent portion are designed for one resonance frequency, the resonance period of the resonator and the frequency of the maximum transmittance of the bent portion can be easily adjusted by adjusting the arrangement period a for the other resonance frequencies. Can be matched. This is particularly useful when a heterostructure is used because it is not necessary to design a bent portion for each different refractive index region. Further, such control can be similarly applied to a case where other parameters of the holes 12 near the bent portion are adjusted.
- the efficiency of transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves to and from the outside at the other end depends on the distance between the termination and the resonator. This is calculated using the example shown in FIG. 10 (a).
- One end of the input waveguide 13 is port 1
- the other end is port 2
- the side of the output waveguide 14 that transmits and receives electromagnetic waves is port 3
- the terminal end side is port 4.
- Port 1 and port 3 have a reflectance of 0.
- the reflectance is set to 1 on the port 2 side, for example, because there is an adjacent different refractive index region.
- the reflectivity at port 4, which is the waveguide termination is 1.
- Fig. 10 shows the results of calculating the intensity of electromagnetic waves having the resonance wavelength of the resonator for each port when the distance d4 between the port 4 and the resonator is between 1 and 1.5 times the resonance wavelength. This is shown in (b). From this figure, it can be seen that when the distance d4 is 1.25 times the resonance wavelength, all electromagnetic waves having the resonance wavelength of the resonator are output to port 3. This corresponds to the case where the distance between the end of the output waveguide and the resonator is (2n-1) / 4 times the resonance wavelength (n is a positive integer).
