title: Directional channel-drop filter based on a slow Bloch mode photonic crystal waveguide section.
abstract: A two-dimensional photonic crystal channel-drop filter is proposed. This device has two high group velocity waveguides that are selectively coupled by a single, low group velocity intermediate waveguide section. It exhibits computed quality factors as high as 1300, and directional dropping efficiencies as high as 90%.
