Abstract
We proposed a tunable terahertz wave add-drop filter based on a rectangular defect rod, an elliptical defect rod, and two output line-defect waveguides in square lattice photonic crystal silicon rods. The coupled mode theory and finite-difference time-domain method are employed to analyze the transmission properties of the device. Through merely changing the refractive index of the defect rods, the add-drop operating frequency of the proposed filter can be easily varied from 0.2959 THz to 0.3005 THz. The adding and dropping efficiency of the proposed structure are close to 93.6% and 99.0%, respectively..
