Design and testing of photonic band gap channel-drop-filters

We have designed, fabricated and tested several novel passive mm-wave spectrometers based on photonic band gap (PBG) structures. Our spectrometers were designed to operate in the frequency ranges of 90-130 and 220-300 GHz. We built and tested both metallic and dielectric silicon channel-drop-filter...

Description
Summary:We have designed, fabricated and tested several novel passive mm-wave spectrometers based on photonic band gap (PBG) structures. Our spectrometers were designed to operate in the frequency ranges of 90-130 and 220-300 GHz. We built and tested both metallic and dielectric silicon channel-drop-filter (CDF) structures at 90-130 GHz. We are currently fabricating a dielectric CDF structure to operate at 220-300 GHz. The complete recent test results for the metal version and preliminary test results for the higher frequency silicon versions will be presented at the conference.
