Abstract

To achieve high spectral linearity, we developed a Fano-resonant graded-stub filter on the basis of a pillar-photonic-crystal (PhC) waveguide. In a numerical simulation, the availability of a linear region within a peak-to-bottom wavelength span was nearly doubled compared to that of a sinusoidal spectrum, which was experimentally demonstrated with a fabricated silicon-pillar PhC stub filter. The high linearity of this filter is suitable for optical modulators used in multilevel amplitude modulation.
