Problems solved by technology
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems existing in the design of photonic crystal wave demultiplexers such as when changing the photonic crystal air space or the radius of the dielectric column to realize the demultiplexer, which requires higher manufacturing process precision, and the current manufacturing level is difficult. Reach, and the demultiplexer that makes is difficult to realize the problem that the output wavelength can be tuned, thereby proposed the two-dimensional air hole photonic crystal demultiplexer that utilizes microfluidic injection technology, the present invention adopts the background medium based on SOI material to make in addition Compared with photonic crystals made of air background dielectric pillars, photonic crystals of air hole materials have better realizability and more mature processing technology

Embodiment Construction
[0033] The structure of the demultiplexer is formed by cascading four W0.9 type line waveguides, such as figure 1 .shown. The triangular lattice medium background uses air hole photonic crystal as the basic mechanism, and then injects liquids with different refractive indices along the waveguide direction using microfluidic technology to form four small W0.9 waveguides, and the four waveguides are arranged in cascade. The length of the first waveguide is 5a, and the length of the other three waveguides is 7a, and then an outlet waveguide is set at the tail of each waveguide, and microfluids with the same refractive index as the waveguide where the outlet waveguide is located are injected into both sides of the outlet waveguide.
[0034] First look at the structure of the basic W0.9-type waveguide, such as figure 2 . As shown, a in the figure is the lattice constant, a=341nm, waveguide width The radius of the air hole is 0.3a, the refractive index is 1, the dielectric backg...

The invention relates to a tunable-wavelength two-dimensional photonic crystal de-multiplexer based on microfluid injection technology. In the invention, the microfluid injection technology is introduced into structure of a two-dimensional photonic crystal de-multiplexer, namely, microfluids with different refractive indexes are injected at different positions of the de-multiplexer to change cut-off frequency of guided mode of the photonic crystal so as to enable cut-off frequencies of the guided mode to differ at different positions, thereby realizing wavelength de-multiplex effect. The photonic crystal in the invention is characterized by triangular lattice medium background ventage structure, which is fit for widely-used SOI-based photonic crystal production technology and has better realizability. In addition, thanks to withdrawability of the microfluid injection technology, microfluids with different refractive indexes can be injected according to requirements to realize tunable wavelength, thereby improving adjustability of photonic crystal energy band property of finished de-multiplexers. The invention provides a realizable mini tunable-wavelength de-multiplexer for all-optical communication network, optical computer and other fields in future.
