Tunable multichannel filter in photonic crystal heterostructure containing permeability-negative materials

摘要

A tunable multichannel filter is demonstrated theoretically based on a one-dimensional photonic crystal heterostructure containing permeability-negative material. The filtering properties of the photonic crystal filter, including the channel number and frequency, can be tuned by adjusting the structure parameters or by a pump laser. The angular response of the photonic crystal filter and the influences of the losses on the filtering properties are also analyzed. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
