A 2*4 all optical decoder switch based on photonic crystal ring resonators

Abstract

AbstractBased on photonic crystal ring resonators and nonlinear Kerr effect in this paper, we proposed a 2*4 all optical decoder switch. Our proposed structure has two logic input ports and one bias input port. This decoder switch has four output ports. Via these two logic input ports, we control the bias signal to transfer toward which output port. We employed numerical methods such as plane wave expansion and finite difference time domain methods for analyzing the proposed structure.Keywords: photonic crystaloptical decoderphotonic band gapKerr effect
