Novel Design

A novel design of photonic crystal waveguide crossing based on multimode-interference (MMI) structure is proposed. Two structures of difference device lengths are simulated and studied. The proposed structures have high transmission efficiency for a wide bandwidth. The crosstalk is -26dB with device length of 12 lattice periods and -39dB with device length of 24 lattice periods. The plane wave expansion method and finite-difference time-domain method are used to calculate the modal dispersion curve and field propagation, respectively. The proposed MMI-based waveguide crossing has the potential to be practical in high-density optical integrated circuits.

Silicon Rods

In this paper, an all-optical photonic crystal-based switch containing a graphene resonant ring has been presented. The structure has been composed of 15 × 15 silicon rods for a fundamental lattice. Then, a resonant ring including 9 thick silicon rods and 24 graphene-SiO2 rods was placed between two waveguides. The thick rods with a radius of 0.41a in the form of a 3 × 3 lattice were placed at the center of the ring. Graphene-SiO2 rods with a radius of 0.2a were assumed around the thick rods. These rods were made of the graphene monolayers which were separated by SiO2 disks. The size of the structure was about 70 µm2 that was more compact than other works. Furthermore, the rise and fall times were obtained by 0.3 ps and 0.4 ps, respectively, which were less than other reports. Besides, the amount of the contrast ratio (the difference between the margin values for logics 1 and 0) for the proposed structure was calculated by about 82%. The correct switching operation, compactness, and ultra-fast response, as well as the high contrast ratio, make the presented switch for optical integrated circuits.

Calculation Results

Herein, the design for a tunable plasmonic refractive index nanosensor is presented. The sensor is composed of a metal–insulator–metal waveguide with a baffle and a circular split-ring resonator cavity. Analysis of transmission characteristics of the sensor structures was performed using the finite element method, and the influence of the structure parameters on the sensing characteristics of the sensor is studied in detail. The calculation results show that the structure can realize dual Fano resonance, and the structural parameters of the sensor have different effects on Fano resonance. The peak position and the line shape of the resonance can be adjusted by altering the sensitive parameters. The maximum value of structural sensitivity was found to be 1114.3 nm/RIU, with a figure of merit of 55.71. The results indicate that the proposed structure can be applied to optical integrated circuits, particularly in high sensitivity nanosensors.

The optical constants, like absorption coefficient (α), optical band gap (Eg) and refractive index (n), in Se80.5Bi1.5Te18-yAgy (y= 0, 1.0 and1.5) thin films are calculated using well known Swanepoel’s method in the spectral range of 600-2000 nm. The optical band gap has been estimated by using Tauc’s extrapolation method and is found to increase with increase in Ag content. The present results shows that the large value of nonlinear refractive index and good transparency of these thin films will make them a very promising materials for optical integrated circuits in the optical communication systems.

Strong Confinement

SOI Ridge nanowire waveguide (RNW) has advantages of strong confinement of optical mode, low propagation loss, small bend radius and fully compatible with CMOS technique, etc. An ultra-compact Y-branch coupler based on SOI RNW was designed and fabricated. Based on the finite-difference beam propagation method (FD-BPM), key parameters of the coupler were analyzed. Then the device was fabricated by electron beam lithography (EBL) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP) reactive ion etching. Results showed that the propagation loss of RNW was 1.89 dB/mm, and the radiation loss of the coupler with branch angle of 30° was only 0.66 dB. Compared with traditional Y-branch coupler, the proposed structure were more promising for high density optical integrated circuits.
