Nonlinear optics has been of increased interest for all-optical signal, data and image processing in high speed photonic networks. The application of multi-valued (nonbinary) digital signals can provide considerable relief in transmission, storage and processing of a large amount of information in digital signal processing. Here, we propose the design of an all-optical system for some basic tri-state logic operations (trinary OR, trinary AND, trinary XOR, Inverter, Truth detector, False detector) which exploits the polarization properties of light. Nonlinear material based optical switch can play an important role. Tri-state logic can play a significant role towards carry and borrow free arithmetic operations. The principles and possibilities of the design of nonlinear material based tri-state logic circuits are proposed and described.

The non-resonant third order nonlinearity of conjugated polymers appears to be potentially useful for all-optical devices in waveguide formats.[l,2] This nonlinearity manifests itself as an intensity-dependent refractive index which leads to a nonlinear phase shift over some propagation distance. Device research over the last few years has shown that there are certain minimum requirements for the nonlinear phase shift that need to be achieved over one absorption length of the material.[l,3] There are two principal sources of absorption, the usual linear absorption which is independent of fluence, and two photon absorption for which the absorption scales linearly with intensity. Thus the usefulness of a nonlinear material for all-optical switching devices can be evaluated from a limited number of material parameters, namely n2 (in n = n0 + n2I where I is the local intensity), α0 which is the low power absorption coefficient and β which is the two photon coefficient (in α = α0 + βI). The problem for a given material is to identify spectral regions over which the minimum required phase shift can be achieved.

Abstract In this paper, an all-optical XOR-AND gate operation has been proposed using one-dimensional periodic nonlinear material model. This structure consists of alternating layers of different nonlinear materials. In this design, we can obtain XOR and AND logical operation simultaneously at the reflected and transmitted port of the periodic structure. Numerical simulation has also been done using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) method. The response time of this switching operation is picoseconds (ps) range order. We find low insertion loss (−3.01 dB), high contrast ratio (14.13 dB) and high extension ratio (10.93 dB) of this device. This design will be useful in future all-optical computing.

Abstract At present, photonic crystals (PhCs) are used to design various combinational and sequential circuits. In this paper, an all-optical one-bit magnitude comparator is proposed using PhC waveguide without using nonlinear material. It is based on beam interference principle, using T-shaped lattice with silicon dielectric rods in air background. It is demonstrated through finite-difference time-domain simulation and verified numerically using MATLAB simulation. The size of PhC lattice structure can be as small as 19.167a×19.167a, where ‘a’ is the lattice constant of the PhC.
