Novel Method

Abstract As a strong couple mode of photon and electron collective oscillation, the movement of an electron can affect the collective plasmon behaviors efficiently. In this paper, we proposed a novel method for modulating the plasmon by directly controlling the movement of the electron but independent of the properties of the medium. This method is demonstrated by a hybrid graphene-dielectric-interdigital electrode structure in the mid-infrared range. It is possible to regulate the confinement of the graphene carrier and stimulate the plasmon in real-time by using the potential wells created by interdigital electrodes. Furthermore, the plasmon frequency can also be modulated utilizing changing the confined area and the density of the carrier. As a result. the frequency has been tuned over a range of ~ 33 cm−1 by applying voltage, and the maximum extinction ratio we measured is 8%. Due to the movement of the electron can also be driven optically, these findings may define a new approach to the all-optical modulator with low pump power.

Photonic Crystal Ring Resonator

AbstractIn this paper, an ultra-fast all-optical modulator, based on a new shape of nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonator, is designed and studied. Numerical methods such as plane wave expansion (PWE) and finite-difference time domain (FDTD) are used to perform simulations. The modulation technique consists of carrier light controlling by means of input light signal and Kerr effect. The investigation of extinction ratio and insertion loss within the carrier input power shows that the choice of 0.7 W is the optimal value of that power to ensure the tradeoff between both characteristics. The suggested modulator demonstrates an excellent extinction ratio about 20.8018, a very low insertion loss of −13.98 and a short switching time about 13.4 ps. According to the obtained results, the modulator can be considered as an ultra-fast and ultra-compact optical component.

AbstractAn all-optical modulator based on photonic crustal structures is proposed and its performance characteristics are studied. In this modulator, a carrier beam is controlled by input signal beam. A two-dimensional microring resonator is designed to employ the Kerr’s nonlinear effect and operate as modulator. We use numerical methods such as plane wave expansion and finite difference time domain for performing our simulations and studying the optical properties of the proposed structure. The insertion loss and extinction ratio are studied as a function of carrier power. Results show acceptable orders of extinction ratio about 9 dB and very low insertion loss about –10 dB. The proposed modulator is expected to show ultra-fast modulation.

AbstractTwo-dimensional material tungsten diselenide (WSe2) nanosheets are coated on a microfibre knot resonator (MKR) to achieve an all-optical power modulation functionality. On account of the strong absorption property of WSe2 and the resonance enhancement properties of MKR, the transmitted optical power of signal light within the WSe2-based MKR can be effectively modulated. The sensitivities of light–control–light experiments with 405- and 660-nm lasers are as high as 0.32 and 0.12 dB/mW, respectively. The sensitivities and power tuning can be enhanced by a higher resonance Q and a larger extinction ratio of MKR. In terms of the response time, the average rise and fall times are 3.5/3.7 and 3.5/4 ms with 405- and 660-nm lasers, respectively. This proposed structure is expected to achieve potential applications in all-fibre-optic–based tunable device such as optical modulator, detector, and so on.

Abstract Semiconductor optical amplifier-based polarization rotation is utilized in designing all-optical AND gate at 100 Gbps. The AND gate shows high extinction ratio (ER ∼ 15 dB), contrast ratio (CR ∼ 18 dB) and quality factor (Q-factor ∼ 16 dB). The effect of the amplified spontaneous emission noise on the performances is also investigated. The AND gate has relative eye opening (REO) varying from 93.52 to 97.1% for 10–30 dB unsaturated gain. Using the AND gate a majority voting gate is designed and analyzed and has Q ∼ 11.7 dB with REO ∼ 91%.

Parity Generator

An all-optical non-inverted parity generator and checker based on semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) are proposed with four-wave mixing (FWM) and cross-gain modulation (XGM) non-linear effects. A 2-bit parity generator and checker using by exclusive NOR (XNOR) and exclusive OR (XOR) gates are implemented by first SOA and second SOA with 10 Gb/s return-to-zero (RZ) code, respectively. The parity and check bits are provided by adjusting the center wavelength of the tunable optical bandpass filter (TOBPF). A saturable absorber (SA) is used to reduce the negative effect of small signal clock (Clk) probe light to improve extinction ratio (ER) and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR). For Pe and Ce (even parity bit and even check bit) without Clk probe light, ER and OSNR still maintain good performance because of the amplified effect of SOA. For Po (odd parity bit), ER and OSNR are improved to 1 dB difference for the original value. For Co (odd check bit), ER is deteriorated by 4 dB without SA, while OSNR is deteriorated by 12 dB. ER and OSNR are improved by about 2 dB for the original value with the SA. This design has the advantages of simple structure and great integration capability and low cost.

AbstractIn the paper, one input optical gates i.e., INVERTER and BUFFER have been designed using some basic assumption to analyze with the help of Semi-conductor Optical Amplifier based Mach–Zehnder Interferometer structure. The results are optimized by iterative process. The proposed design of optical gates presents low complexity, high scalability and more feasible to evaluate through digital Boolean analyzation. The digital Boolean analyzation is analyzed by some basic Boolean rules and assumptions which makes the design more digital so that it can be compatible for more than one input optical gates also. Optical Gate is designed to get constructive and destructive interference for pump and probe as they are injected into SOA simultaneously. The phase modulation is converted into intensity modulation which gives a Boolean result. The paper is optimized by Eye diagram, Q factor, wavelength spectrum and frequency chirp for both the gates. The comparative results of extinction ratio for both the gates have also been discussed. The design is supported by theoretical analysis, simulation tool (Optsim) and Boolean explanation. The proposed designs are constructed with same pattern which supports the same Boolean analysis.
