On chip complex signal processing devices using coupled phononic crystal slab resonators and waveguides

In this paper, we report the evidence for the possibility of achieving complex signal processing functionalities such as multiplexing/demultiplexing at high frequencies using phononic crystal (PnC) slabs. It is shown that such functionalities can be obtained by appropriate cross-coupling of PnC reso...
