Abstract In this paper the new 1×4 optical demultiplexer for next-generation all-optical switching systems is proposed. The controlled mirrors are the main elements of this device. The control voltage for this mirror is generated by a rectenna from an optical control signal. In according to operation principle this optical signal enters the system simultaneously with an information signal. The analytical approach of calculation energy losses in the demultiplexer based on the translation matrix method is proposed. And also the analytical method of performance calculation is offered for the first time. First of all, the delay time due the transient mode in the power supply circuit is found. The equivalent electrical scheme of the optical demultiplexer is proposed for the first time. Note that the theoretical results obtained in this work can be used for analysing various controlled optical devices. The numerical calculations in accordance to the presented methods are carried out also.

The control of Fano resonances is of critical importance to opto-electronic and all-optical switching devices, light delay and storage, high sensitivity sensors, and quantum information processors. In this paper, we experimentally and theoretically demonstrate that controllable electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like and Fano resonances can be achieved in a single quasi-cylindrical microresonator (QCMR). Robust and selective excitation of localized axial modes in a high quality QCMR is firstly demonstrated. Based on this stable platform, EIT-like lineshapes can be tuned and converted into Fano resonances by vertically moving the resonator. Moreover, by horizontally scanning the resonator, the transmission spectrum exhibits periodically changed Fano-like lineshapes. It is reported for the first time that the above two kinds of Fano resonances originated from different mechanisms can work on the same mode simultaneously. Our approach, demonstrated in this work, provides a robust photonic platform for accessing, controlling, and engineering the Fano resonances.

In this paper I review the present status of all-optical switching and logic elements. I then discuss their future potential, taking account of limitations imposed by materials, considerations of system architecture, and fundamental physical mechanisms. I conclude by describing two areas in which all-optical signal-processing systems are likely to have a major impact.
