Modeling of Polarization-Rotation Based All-Optical Logic Switch Using Ring-Resonator

Abstract All optical logic gates are building blocks for all optical data processors. One way of designing optical logic gates is using threshold switching which can be realized by combining an optical resonator with nonlinear Kerr effect. In this paper we showed that a novel structure consisting of nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonator which can be used for realizing optical NAND/NOR and majority gates. The delay time of the proposed NAND/NOR and majority gates are 2.5 ps and 1.5 ps respectively. Finite difference time domain and plane wave expansion methods were used for simulating the proposed optical logic gates. The total footprint of the proposed structure is about 988 μm2.

The realization of all-optical polarization switch and all-optical logic gates based on polarization-conversion on single silicon micro-ring resonator (MRR) is demonstrated. By adjusting the mode state of the input source as well as the pump light, the all-optical polarization switch, and hence, all-optical NOT, OR/NOR. AND-NAND logic gates are realized. The design is ultra-compact, ultrafast, and less optical power is required for all-optical polarization-conversion-based switch and logic gates, respectively. The MRR also shows outstanding performance as its Q (quality) factor is very high. The design is robust, simple, stable, easy-to-fabricate, and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) compatible. The structure is compatible for interconnects and capable for integrating in electronics as well as in plasmonics circuits.

2R Regeneration

We highlight the feasibility of experimental implementation of both inverted and noninverted wavelength conversion, 2R regeneration, and all-optical logic functions, such as OR, NOR, XOR, and XNOR optical gates by exploiting the self-polarization rotation in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) device without changing the setup configuration. Switching between each optical function is done by only adjusting the input optical power level. In order to allow optimum control and preserve the polarization state of the injected and collected signals, the polarimetric measures have been carried out in free space.
