Abstract
A two-dimensional photonic crystal channel-drop filter is proposed. This device has two high group velocity waveguides that are selectively coupled by a single, low group velocity intermediate waveguide section. It exhibits computed quality factors as high as 1300, and directional dropping efficiencies as high as 90%.

- The FSR is derived following the same approach as in the traditional case of a Fabry-Perot resonator operating in a linear regime of the dispersion characteristics. It is a first order approximation around an extreme, where the FSR may incidently be strictly zero, as explained in the coming up section.
