Abstract

We propose a design of a composite splitter–filter by replacing the traditional periodic arrays with Fibonacci rod chains along both sides of the output channel of a T-junction photonic crystal waveguide. This integrated structure concurrently realizes the dual functions of a power splitter and an optical filter. The coexistence and effectiveness of these two functions are verified through numerical simulations. Furthermore, the proposed device exhibits excellent robustness against three types of defects and enables strong tunability of its operating wavelength window. Owing to these superior characteristics, this hybrid photonic crystal–quasicrystal structure holds significant application potential in photonic integrated circuits and high-performance optical communication systems.
