 abstract={Recent years, the design of photonic crystal (PC) based optical devices is receiving keen interest in research and scientific community. In this paper, two dimensional (2D) PC based eight channel demultiplexer is proposed and designed and the functional characteristics of demultiplexer namely resonant wavelength, transmission efficiency, quality factor, spectral width, channel spacing and crosstalk are investigated. The demultiplexer is designed to drop the wavelength centred at 1537.6 nm, 1538.5 nm, 1539.4 nm, 1540.4 nm, 1541.2 nm, 1541.9 nm, 1542.6 nm and 1543.1 nm. The proposed demultiplexer is primarily composed of bus waveguide, drop waveguide and quasi square ring resonator. The quasi square ring resonator and square ring micro cavity (inner rods) are playing a vital role for a desired channel selection. The operating range of the devices is identified through a photonic band gap (PBG) which is obtained using a plane wave expansion (PWE) method. The functional characteristics of the proposed demultiplexer are attained using a 2D finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. The proposed device offers low crosstalk and high transmission efficiency with ultra-compact size, hence, it is highly desirable for DWDM applications.},
