Abstract:In this paper, the concept of photonic crystals (PhCs) is fundamental to the design and simulation of an all-optical device. The proposed logic device is composed of two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal waveguides with a central photonic crystal ring resonator (PCRR). The new all-optical NAND logic gate is composed of two linear waveguides coupled to each other through a single compact PCRR. The plane wave expansion (PWE) and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods are used to analyze the behavior of the… Show more
