An ultrafast all-optical switch based on a nonlinear photonic crystal waveguide using single crystal p-toluene sulfonate

Ultrafast Coherent Dynamics of a Photonic Crystal All-Optical Switch.

We present pump-probe measurements of an all-optical photonic crystal switch based on a nanocavity, resolving fast coherent temporal dynamics. The measurements demonstrate the importance of coherent effects typically neglected when considering nanocavity dynamics. In particular, we report the observation of an idler pulse and more than 10 dB parametric gain. The measurements are in good agreeme...

All-Optical Ultra compact Photonic Crystal Switch Based on Nonlinear Micro Ring Resonators

In this paper an all-optical switch has been proposed based on photonic crystal T-type ring resonator. The finite different time domain (FDTD) and plane wave extended (PWE) methods are used to analyze the behavior of the structure. The T-type ring resonator has a low switching time of about 0.95ps and low switching power equal to 156mW/μm 2 . Since the structure has a simple geometric shape wit...

Ultra-Fast All-Optical Half Subtractor Based on Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators

Abstract: In this paper, we aim to design and propose a novel structure for all-opticalhalf subtractor based on the photonic crystal. The structure includes two optical switches,one power splitter, and one power combiner. The optical switches are made of theresonant rings which use the nonlinear rods for dropping operation. The footprint of thedesigned structure is about...
