Arbitrary Power Splitting Couplers Based on 3x3 Multimode Interference Structures for All-optical Computing
-Chip level optical links based on VLSI photonic integrated circuits have been proposed to replace metal electrical data paths in cases where high frequencies make electrical traces impractical. This is especially relevant to highspeed clock signals as silicon CMOS circuit technology is scaled higher in speed to the GHz range and beyond. In this paper, the realization of optical couplers and po...
متن کاملAll-Optical Logic Gates Based on Nonlinear Slot Waveguide Couplers
A novel design of all-optical logic gates based on nonlinear slot waveguide couplers is proposed. NOT, OR, and AND logic gates can be realized by simple single optical directional coupler configuration. Strong polarization dependencies of slot waveguides are effectively utilized for realizing polarization-independent optical directional couplers in linear regime and polarization-dependent all-o...
متن کاملHybrid multimode resonators based on grating-assisted counter-directional couplers.
Research thrusts in silicon photonics are developing control operations using higher order waveguide modes for next generation high-bandwidth communication systems. In this context, devices allowing optical processing of multiple waveguide modes can reduce architecture complexity and enable flexible on-chip networks. We propose and demonstrate a hybrid resonator dually resonant at the 1st and 2...

متن کاملOptical Wavelength and Dimensions Tolerance Criterion for Multimode Interference Couplers
The self-imaging property of a homogeneous multi-moded planar optical waveguide has been applied in the design optical couplers based on multimode Interference (MMI). Based on this design, the optical wavelength and dimensions tolerance for MMI-3dB couplers are investigated analytically. They are shown to be inversely proportional to the multimode section width. Among Symmetrical, paired, and g...
