“…In this paper, we verify that dispersions on PBG edges can increase  0,1 and decrease  0,2 greatly, such that 1 and 2 are separated in an ultra-short coupler length in transmission. Such a 1D PhC-assisted TMI wavelength filter is much shorter than the general TMI multiplexers [8,9], has less loss, and is easier to fabricate than 2D PhC waveguide filters. Figure 1 shows a 2D schematic design of a TMI wavelength filter assisted with a highly dispersive 1D photonic crystal structure.…”
