Abstract Increasing the speed of operation in all optical signal processing is very important. For reaching this goal one needs high speed optical devices. Optical half adders are one of the important building blocks required in optical processing. In this paper an optical half adder was proposed by combining nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonators with optical waveguides. Finite difference time domain method wase used for simulating the final structure. The simulation results confirmed that the rise time for the proposed structure is about 1 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.

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.

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.

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.
