Abstract In this paper, an all-optical XOR-AND gate operation has been proposed using one-dimensional periodic nonlinear material model. This structure consists of alternating layers of different nonlinear materials. In this design, we can obtain XOR and AND logical operation simultaneously at the reflected and transmitted port of the periodic structure. Numerical simulation has also been done using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) method. The response time of this switching operation is picoseconds (ps) range order. We find low insertion loss (−3.01 dB), high contrast ratio (14.13 dB) and high extension ratio (10.93 dB) of this device. This design will be useful in future all-optical computing.

AbstractIn this work, photonic crystal (PhC) based all-optical 1 × 2 demultiplexer is designed for optical computing and optical signal processing. The structure is implemented with two-dimensional PhCs using T-shaped waveguides with an optimized silicon rod radius of 0.2a. Performance of the proposed structure is verified and analyzed by using the finite-difference time-domain method. The design of all-optical demultiplexer is operated based on optical interference effect at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Proposed design occupies less area of 8.4 × 5.4 µm, provides a contrast ratio of 18.53 dB, 94.52% of minimum and 100% of maximum transmission ratio and it has less insertion loss of 0.017 dB; therefore, the proposed device is suitable for photonic integrated devices.

Abstract In this study, we are going to design all optical 1-bit comparator by combining wave interference and threshold switching methods. The final structure composed of two nonlinear ring resonators and seven waveguides. The functionality of the suggested logical structure is analyzed and simulated by using plane wave expansion (PWE) and finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods. According to results, the proposed all optical 1-bit comparator has faster response and smaller footprint than all previous works. The maximum ON-OFF contrast ratio, delay time and area of the suggested optical comparator are about 16.67 dB, 1.8 ps, and 513 µm2, respectively.

The leapfrog schemes have been developed for unconditionally stable alternating-direction implicit (ADI) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, and recently the complying-divergence implicit (CDI) FDTD method. In this paper, the formulations from time-collocated to leapfrog fundamental schemes are presented for ADI and CDI FDTD methods. For the ADI FDTD method, the time-collocated fundamental schemes are implemented using implicit E-E and E-H update procedures, which comprise simple and concise right-hand sides (RHS) in their update equations. From the fundamental implicit E-H scheme, the leapfrog ADI FDTD method is formulated in conventional form, whose RHS are simplified into the leapfrog fundamental scheme with reduced operations and improved efficiency. For the CDI FDTD method, the time-collocated fundamental scheme is presented based on locally one-dimensional (LOD) FDTD method with complying divergence. The formulations from time-collocated to leapfrog schemes are provided, which result in the leapfrog fundamental scheme for CDI FDTD method. Based on their fundamental forms, further insights are given into the relations of leapfrog fundamental schemes for ADI and CDI FDTD methods. The time-collocated fundamental schemes require considerably fewer operations than all conventional ADI, LOD and leapfrog ADI FDTD methods, while the leapfrog fundamental schemes for ADI and CDI FDTD methods constitute the most efficient implicit FDTD schemes to date.

To expand the bandgap's width of the one-dimensional photonic crystal, a crystal named SiO2/Metal/MgF2 is formed by joining some metals into the crystal SiO2/MgF2. Furthermore the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method is used to explore the metals' influence on the crystal's transmission characteristics. The simulation results show that the metals joined could expand the width of the one-dimensional photonic crystal's bandgap effectively and the bandgap's width increases when the metals' thickness increases. Meanwhile the bandgap's characteristic is affected by the metals' material-characteristic. The higher the plasma frequency is, the wider the bandgap's width will be and the more the number of the bandgaps will be. On the other hand, the metals' damping frequency has no significant effect on the bandgap, but would make the bandgap-edge's transmittance decrease slightly.

<span>The purpose of  this paper is to show some improvements of the finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method using Numerov and non-standard finite difference (NSFD) schemes for solving the one-dimensional Schr</span><span>ö</span><span>dinger equation. Starting with results of the unmodified FDTD method, Numerov-FD and NSFD are applied iteratively to produce more accurate results for eigen energies and wavefunctios. Three potential wells, infinite square well, harmonic oscillator and Poschl-Teller, are used to compare results of FDTD calculations. Significant improvements in the results for the infinite square potential and the harmonic oscillator potential are found using Numerov-NSFD scheme, and for Poschl-Teller potential are found using Numerov scheme.</span>

Electrically tunable metasurfaces with graphene offer design flexibility to efficiently manipulate and control light. These metasurfaces can be used to generate plasmon-induced reflectance (PIR), which can be tuned by electrostatic doping of the graphene layer. We numerically investigated two designs for tunable PIR devices using the finite difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The first design is based on two rectangular antennas of the same size and a disk; in the second design, two parallel rectangular antennas with different dimensions are used. The PIR-effect was achieved by weak hybridization of two bright modes in both devices and tuned by changing the Fermi level of graphene. A total shift of ∼362 nm was observed in the design with the modulation depth of 53% and a spectral contrast ratio of 76%. These tunable PIR devices can be used for tunable enhanced biosensing and switchable systems.

AbstractIn this paper, an all-optical switch based on photonic crystal directional coupler has been simulated and analyzed by the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. An ultra small 3-channel wavelength division demultiplexer based on 2D photonic crystal was modified into all-optical switch suitable for integration. The output wavelengths of designed structure can be tuned for communication applications (around 1.5 µm, 1.4 µm, 1.3 µm) by locating suitable defect parameters in the corner of each resonance cavity and input waveguides. The bandwidth of each channel is about 1 nm.
