We propose a novel silicon diplexer integrated with filters for frequency-division multiplexing in the 300-GHz band. The diplexer consists of a directional coupler formed of unclad silicon wires, a photonic bandgap-based low-pass filter, and a high-pass filter based on frequency-dependent bending loss. These integrated filters are capable of suppressing crosstalk and providing >15dB isolation over 40GHz, which is highly beneficial for terahertz-range wireless communications applications. We have used this diplexer in a simultaneous error-free wireless transmission of 300-GHz and 335-GHz channels at the aggregate data rate of 36Gbit/s.
