Abstract :

One of the structures made of photonic crystal is all-optic filter which these filters are widely used in optic telecommunications systems and networks. In this paper, a method has been presented to design an optic filter based on two-dimensional photonic crystals. The crystal which we suggested, was obtained by FDTD and PWE numeric methods, that influenced different parameters of output wavelength of filter. The result showed that increase of refraction index of Dielectric, leads information in output wavelength of filter.
