Design of all-optical, hot-electron current-direction-switching device based on geometrical asymmetry.
We propose a nano-scale current-direction-switching device(CDSD) that operates based on the novel phenomenon of geometrical asymmetry between two hot-electron generating plasmonic nanostructures. The proposed device is easy to fabricate and economical to develop compared to most other existing designs. It also has the ability to function without external wiring in nano or molecular circuitry si...
متن کاملDesign of all Optical Packet Switching Networks
Optical switches and wavelength converters are recognized as two of the most important DWDM system components in future all-optical networks. Optical switches perform the key functions of flexible routing, reconfigurable optical cross-connect (OXC), network protection and restoration, etc. in optical networks. Wavelength Converters are used to shift one incoming wavelength to another outgoing w...
متن کاملPlasmonically enhanced hot electron based photovoltaic device.
Hot electron photovoltaics is emerging as a candidate for low cost and ultra thin solar cells. Plasmonic means can be utilized to significantly boost device efficiency. We separately form the tunneling metal-insulator-metal (MIM) junction for electron collection and the plasmon exciting MIM structure on top of each other, which provides high flexibility in plasmonic design and tunneling MIM des...
متن کاملAll-Optical Packet Switching Network based on Optical Code Processing
This work introduces a significant improvement for optical packet switching network based on OC processing. The key point of this method is the generalization of the optical label switching concept to forward optical packet without label swapping and O/E/O procedure. Our proposed method simplifies the design of switch devices in optical domain and packet forwarding process which speeds up packe...
متن کاملA novel design for all-optical NAND/NOR/XOR gates based on nonlinear directional coupler
In this paper a novel all-optical logic NAND, NOR and XOR gate based on nonlinear directional coupler theory is demonstrated. We use the identical structure which contains three waveguides, for designing these gates; the only difference however, is the power of inputs light beam. In other words, while a beam with 4 W/μm in power considered as logical one, the output is NAND gate and if a beam w...
