Abstract :
We present the analysis and design of three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystal (PC) demultiplexers in which the simultaneous existence of the superprism effect and the diffraction compensation results in a compact structure. We have used tetragonal woodpile PCs fabricated by 3D patterning of a polymer material through a direct laser writing technique for experimental demonstration of these devices.
