Main Results:

The coupled PhC membranes function as a tunable Fabry-Perot cavity.
Reflectivity and transmissivity are dependent on the air gap between membranes.
The device exhibits high sensitivity to geometrical parameters, particularly the slab distance.

Conclusions:

An ultracompact optical filter based on coupled GaAs PhC membranes was successfully demonstrated.
The device's optical characteristics are highly tunable via precise control of the air gap.
This technology holds promise for developing a new generation of tunable optical filters.
