Nonlinear directional coupler for polychromatic light.
We demonstrate that a nonlinear directional coupler with special bending of waveguide axes can be used for all-optical switching of polychromatic light with a very broad spectrum covering all of the visible region. The bandwidth of the suggested device is enhanced five times compared with conventional couplers. Our results suggest novel opportunities for the creation of all-optical logical gate...

We demonstrate that nonlinear directional coupler with special bending of waveguide axes can be used for all-optical switching of polychromatic light with very broad spectrum covering all visible region. The bandwidth of suggested device is enhanced five times compared to conventional couplers. Our results suggest novel opportunities for creation of all-optical logical gates and switches for po...
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...

متن کاملAll-optical Switching Structure Using Nonlinear Photonic Crystal Directional Coupler
In this paper, a new all-optical switching structure is proposed and analyzed. Switching is accomplished by embedded Kerr nonlinear rods in the coupling region of a photonic crystal directional coupler. We show that by modifying the supermodes dispersion curves, the switch length can be reduced 22% with respect to similar structures. Finite-Difference TimeDomain and Plane Wave Expansion methods...
