A reconfigurable multi-tap microwave filter is demonstrated on a Silicon on Insula-tor platform. Compactness and low-power operation are achieved owing to slow-light in photonic crystals. As an example, a microwave band-pass and a stop-band filters are obtained. Channel equalization is also demonstrated on an unitary filter cell.
