            Abstract : 
Parallel photonic crystal waveguides (P-PCWs) is studied, using the FDTD and PWE method. Analysis of P-PCWs is presented and transmission properties of P-PCWs are investigated. It is also suggesting that parallel PCW can realize a very efficient add/drop filter which can be used in WDM.
