Abstract Increasing the speed of operation in all optical signal processing is very important. For reaching this goal one needs high speed optical devices. Optical half adders are one of the important building blocks required in optical processing. In this paper an optical half adder was proposed by combining nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonators with optical waveguides. Finite difference time domain method wase used for simulating the final structure. The simulation results confirmed that the rise time for the proposed structure is about 1 ps.

Abstract In optical processing systems, multiplexer is used to design optical devices such as arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and shift register (SR). Through this paper, we investigate the application of nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonator (PhCRR) based on nonlinear Kerr effect for realizing an all optical 2 × 1 multiplexer. The structure consists of two PhCRRs and five optical waveguides using hexagonal lattice silicon (Si) rods with a background of air. Performance of all optical 2 × 1 multiplexer is replicated with the help of finite difference time domain (FDTD) procedure at a wavelength of 1571 nm, and simulations presented an ultra-compact optical structure with ultra-fast switching speed.

Background: All-optical processing has a huge superiority in speed and efficiency than traditional optical-electrical-optical signal processing. Four-wave-mixing is an important nonlinear parametric process to achieve all-optical processing. Objective: We proposed the photonic crystal waveguide to enhance the conversion efficiency of four-wave-mixingsignificantly in practical application. Methods: We demonstrate a waveguide composed of silicon with mono-layer graphene coated as core and Si-Ge distributed periodically on both sides as cladding. By the introduction of slow light effect of Si-Ge photonic crystal and the localization effect of graphene, the conversion efficiency of four-wave-mixing has enhanced dramatically. Results: The conversion efficiency can be increased by 16dB compared with silicon waveguide and the maximum efficiency as high as -9.1dB can be achieved in the Si-Ge-Graphene photonic crystal waveguide (SGG-PhCWG).The propagation loss can be decreased as small as 0.032dB/cm. Conclusions: Numerical results of proposed SGG-PhCWGmatch well with nonlinear coupled-mode theory. This configuration offers a new physical mechanism and solution for all-optical signal processing and high efficiency nonlinear nanoscale devices.

Abstract This paper proposes a new all-optical full-adder design based on nonlinear X-shaped photonic crystal (PhC) resonators. The PhC-based full-adder consists of three input ports, two X-shaped PhC resonators (X-PCRs), and two output ports. The dielectric rods made of silicon and nonlinear rods composed of doped glass are used to design the X-PCRs. Two well-known plane wave expansion and finite difference time domain methods are applied to study and analyze the photonic band structure and light propagation inside the PhC, respectively. Our numerical results demonstrate when the incoming light intensity increases, the nonlinear Kerr effect appears and manages the direction of light propagation inside the structure. The maximum time delay and footprint of the proposed full-adder are about 2.5ps and 663 μm2, making it an appropriate adder for high-speed data processing systems.
