Abstract:
To address the driving power and density of wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) computing architectures, a Fano resonator based on a photonic crystal nanobeam is proposed. The Fano resonator comprises a T-shaped waveguide, introducing an additional phase shift in the continuous propagation mode, and a photonic crystal nanobeam with a discrete mode. The device has one resonance peak within wavelength ranging from 1 500 nm to 1 600 nm, with a maximum extinction ratio of 8.7 dB and a transmission spectrum slope of up to 11.30 dB/nm. The device has good reusability, extinction ratio, and spectral resolution. It is expected to provide essential photonic components for low-energy consumption and high-density photonic computing to meet the requirements of future convolutional neural network (CNN) acceleration computing.
