摘要
Routing functions are investigated through the use of compact waveguide structures inserted in two-dimensional electromagnetic crystals. Wave channelling is obtained in multibranch couplers whose geometries are carefully designed to promote both selective and directive transfer processes. A quality factor Q similar to 1100 (effective bandwidth: 0.09%) and a high directionality (similar to25 dB) for a full transfer process in a compact design can be obtained through this mode engineering of the coupling zone. It is shown that the origin of the directivity is a symmetry break owing to the superposition of cavity modes. A three-colour demultiplexer based on such a design will be finally proposed.
