Abstract
In this paper we proposed a novel structure fordesigning all optical filter based on photonic crystal structure.For designing the proposed filter we simply employed a pointdefect localized between input and output waveguides aswavelength selecting part of the filter. The initial form of thisfilter is capable of selecting optical waves at ．=1554.2 nm, thetransmission efficiency of the filter is 100%. In designing andstudying the optical properties of the filter we used plane waveexpansion and finite difference time domain methods. Afterdesigning the filter we studied the impact of differentparameters on the filtering behavior of the structure. The totalfootprint of the filter is less than 76 ○ m2. Simplicity ofdesign and ultra-compact dimensions are the most significantcharacteristics of our filter.
