Abstract
An optical demultiplexer through one-dimensional Si–SiO2 photonic crystal structure in the presence of air cavity with a single crystal PMN-0.38PT material is presented. The transmittance of this structure is obtained using the transfer matrix method. The transmittance of this structure shows a sharp passband in the band gap region. It is observed that by introducing PMN-0.38PT layer in both sides of the air cavity, the existing band gap region of Si–SiO2 structure is slightly increased. Here, PMN-0.38PT material is working as a tunable element for passband. By applying some external potential on PMN-0.38PT crystal, the thickness of cavity layer can be tuned and the passband can be placed at any desired wavelength in the band gap region. Since the photonic band gap region contains a range of wavelengths which are not allowed to pass through the structure can be considered as a multiplex signal for the proposed demultiplexer. Therefore, any optical signal that lies in the band gap region of the structure can be separated into its components as a pass band. Hence, the proposed structure will work as an optical demultiplexer.
