In this paper, we propose, analyze and simulate a new configuration to simulate all-optical combinational logic functions based on Nano-rings insulator-metal-insulator (IMI) plasmonic waveguides. We used Finite Element Method (FEM) to analyze the proposed plasmonic combinational logic functions. The analyzed combinational logic functions are Half-Adder, Full-Adder, Half-Subtractor, and Comparator One-Bit. The operation principle of these combinational logic functions is based on the constructive and destructive interferences between the input signal(s) and control signal. Numerical simulations show that a transmission threshold exists (0.25) which allows all proposed four plasmonic combinational logic functions to be achieved in one structure. As a result, the transmission threshold value measures the performance of the proposed plasmonic combinational logic functions. We use the same structure with the same dimensions at 1550 nm wavelength for all proposed plasmonic combinational logic functions. The proposed all-optical combinational logic functions structure contributes significantly to photonic integrated circuits construction and all-optical signal processing nano-circuits.

Hybrid Plasmonic Waveguides

Nano-scale Multifunctional Logic Gates based on Si hybrid plasmonic waveguides (HPWGs) are designed by utilizing the multimode interference (MMI) effect. The proposed device is composed of three input waveguides, three output waveguides and an MMI waveguide. The functional size of the device is only 1000 nm × 3200 nm, which is much smaller than traditional Si-based all-optical logic gates. By setting different input signals and selecting suitable threshold value, OR, AND, XOR and NOT gates are achieved simultaneously or individually in a single device. This may provide a way for ultrahigh speed signal processing and future nanophotonic integrated circuits.

   In this work, all-optical plasmonic NOT logic gate was proposed using Insulator-Metal-Insulator (IMI) plasmonic waveguides Technology. The proposed all-optical NOT gate is simulated and realized using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.3a software. Recently, plasmonic technology has attracted high attention due to its wide applications in all-optical signal processing. Due to its highly localization to metallic surfaces, surface plasmon (SP) may have huge applications in sub wavelength to guide the optical signal in the waveguides which results in overcoming the diffraction limit problem in conventional optics. The proposed IMI structure is consist of a dielectric waveguides plus metallic claddings, which guide the incident light strongly in the insulator region. Our design consists of symmetric nano-rings structures with two straight waveguides which based on IMI structure. The operation of all-optical NOT gate is realized by employing the constructive and destructive interface between the straight waveguides and the nano-rings structure waveguides. There are three ports in the proposed design, input, control and output ports. The activation of control port is always ON. By changing the structure dimensions, the materials, the phase of the applied optical signal to the input and control ports, the optical transmission at the output port is changed. In our proposed structure, the insulator dielectric material is glass and the metal material is silver. The calculated contrast ratio between (ON and OFF) output states is 3.16 (dB).

AbstractPhotonic crystal waveguides provide a way to manipulate the performance of an optical signal in an ultra-small volume and are quite viable in designing chip-based components that will work all-optically. Here, in this article an all-optical half adder is proposed. It is based on a square lattice photonic crystal waveguide in which silicon rods are arranged periodically. The photonic crystal offers a wide photonic band-gap in the desired region of telecommunication wavelength (i. e. near λ = 1550 nm. The performance of half Adder is measured using the contrast ratio and response time. The contrast ratio for sum and carry is 5.2 dB and 16.7 dB, respectively. The proposed half adder is miniaturized in size and having a footprint of 49 µm2 only. The total response time of the proposed adder is 1.4 picoseconds only. So, the device offers a high bit rate of 0.714 Tb/sec. The proposed half adder is an optimum choice for its application in on-chip optical integrated circuits.

In this paper, a novel plasmonic band-pass filter by using the system consisting four waveguides and an asymmetric cross-shaped resonator is proposed. The plasmonic system is based on the metal–insulator–metal (MIM) structure which could overcome the diffraction limit and exhibit various promising applications. Here, we investigate the transmission spectra of the cross-shaped resonator by using finite-different-time-domain (FDTD) method and we find that the peak-wavelength on different ports show redshift or blueshift behaviors which are linearly changed with the length of cavity or the coupling distance. Moreover, the wavelength filter could be achieved and further applied in optical signal integrated circuits.

Optical micro-ring resonators (MRRs) element can be used in many applications. This paper we propose a photonics circuit design based on optical tree architecture (OTA) for all-optical elements by using the modified add-drop filter for an all-optical arithmetic logic unit (ALU) aimed for computing applications system. All-optical 2x4 decoder, all-optical comparator, all-optical half adder, all-optical half subtractor, all-optical full adder, all-optical full subtractor and proposed new design all-optical 4x16 decoder were proposed. We have studied the nonlinear effect in the modified add-drop filter system, which is control by injected the nonlinear pulses on top as an input for generated all-optical logic and arithmetic operations simultaneously at the through and drop port of modified add-drop filter. The optical input and control field of the modified add-drop filter circuit can be formed by nonlinear dark and bright pluses. The obtained simulation results have shown that the nonlinear pulse generated by the nonlinear modified add-drop filter can control the output consistency, which is important when the interconnect between each circuit output parts are required. The advantages of the modified add-drop filter are low power, ultra-fast switching, tuneable and high security which is compact size and footprint. It is suitable for the next generation of all-optical small-scale device and all-optical computing system requirements.

Abstract In this paper, we have proposed, analyzed, and verified theperformance of an optimized plasmonic 10-dB directional coupler and a 3-dB directional coupler in 2-D plasmonic waveguides using finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) method. A plasmonic 10-dB directional coupler and a 3-dB directional coupler are based on the metal-insulator-metal (MIM) slab waveguide and analyzed at the telecommunication wavelength (λ) of 1550 nm. Here, coupling and transmission characteristics are analyzed with the optimized separation distance between the two parallel waveguides. The developed approach ensures the minimization of the crosstalk and overall directional coupler length via simultaneous adjustment of the separation distance between the parallel waveguide and length of the linear waveguide. Then an optimized structure is acquired by trading off between coupling length and separation distance. The proposed 10-dB directional coupler and 3-dB directional coupler features good energy confinement, ultra-compact and low propagation loss, which has potential applications in photonic integrated devices, optical signal processors, and other all-optical switching devices.

Abstract By exploiting the phenomena of optical switching, different logic functions for all-optical digital signal processing has been projected. This paper presents the application of optical switching to design of all-optical half adder and half subtractor by Mach-Zehnder interferometer. All-Optical half adder and half subtractor are designed with the optimized structure of 2 × 2 Mach-Zehnder interferometer switch by electro-optic effect in lithium niobate. Numerical simulations of the proposed structure have been conducted to verify the suitability of the designed structure using Opti-BPM software. The implementation of proposed structures is simulated in MATLAB software along with the mathematical description. It is interesting to analyze that the proposed structures are useful to generate combinational and sequential logic circuits in high-speed optical signal processing and switching network.
