AbstractIn this paper, we aim to design an all-optical structure that can be employed as optical OR/AND logic gates. To do so, a nonlinear photonic crystal-based ring resonator will be designed whose resonant wavelength depends on the variation of optical intensity. Then, by adding some optical waveguides, the optical logic circuit structure will be obtained that can function as optical OR/AND logic gates. The maximum time delay for the proposed structure is about 1.5 ps. Total footprint of the proposed structure is about 372 mm2. The proposed structure has lower time delay, lower footprint and lower optical input power compared with previously proposed structures.

AbstractNonlinear photonic crystal ring resonators are suitable mechanisms that can be used for designing optical logic gates and digital structures. In this paper, we designed two nonlinear resonant rings by adding doped glass rods inside the photonic crystal ring resonator. An optical half adder was designed using these nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonators. We used plane wave expansion and finite difference time domain methods to simulate our optical half adder. The simulations show that when one of the input ports is ON, the normalized optical power at the S is about 90 %. The time delay in this case is 7 ps. Also when both the input ports are ON, the normalized optical power at the C is about 155 %. The time delay in this case is 8 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.

In this paper an ultra-compact all-optical encoder is presented by using a two-dimensional photonic crystal. The designed logic gate is based on the interference effect. The proposed structure consists of several photonic crystal waveguides connected by 2 nano-resonators. The nano-resonators are designed to reduce the size of the radius of the dielectric rods. The contrast ratios and delay time for the proposed all-optical encoder are respectively 6 dB and 125 fs. The size of the structure is equal to 132 µm2. Equality of the output power in the logic states “one”, the small dimensions, the low delay time, compact and simple structure have shown that the logic gate is suitable for the using in optical integrated circuits.

Abstract Optical logic gates can play crucial roles for designing all optical data processing circuits. Photonic crystals are one of the suitable platforms that can be used for designing all optical devices. In this paper an optical XOR gate was designed using nonlinear ring resonators. The proposed structure works are based on threshold switching. The working wavelength and the switching threshold of the resonators are 1550 nm and 1.8 W/μm2, respectively. The rise time is about 1 ps and the ON/OFF contrast ratio is about 16 dB.
