Photonic Switches / Gates
(b) (c) Abstract—Computers are getting faster and faster every year and so is the transistors count. The capabilities of digital electronic devices have excelled during the past 40 years but since 2010 the pace has slowed down because of no reduction in semiconductor gate delays and them power required to drive them. This has led to the emergence of new technology of photonic switches and gates...
متن کاملOn-chip wavelength locking for photonic switches.
We present an on-chip wavelength reference with a partial drop ring resonator and germanium photodetector. This approach can be used in ring-resonator-based wavelength-selective switches where absolute wavelength alignment is required. We use the temperature dependence of heater resistance as a temperature sensor. Additionally, we discuss locking speed, statistical variation of heater resistanc...
متن کاملFundamentals of Silicon Photonic Devices
This paper offers a brief introduction to silicon photonics including the basic optical waveguide, passive optical circuit performance, the addition of doped pand njunctions adjacent to the intrinsic silicon waveguide to inject a current across the waveguide, free-carrier dispersion, performance of the variable optical attenuator (VOA), and a monolithic, dual-function splitter-VOA array circuit.
متن کاملSlow-light photonic crystal switches and modulators
We discuss the performance of slow-light enhanced optical switches and modulators fabricated in silicon. The switch is based on photonic crystal waveguides in a directional coupler geometry, and the dispersion of the device is engineered to allow a switching length as short as 5 μm and rerouting of optical signals within 3 ps. The 3 ps switching time is demonstrated using free carriers in the s...
متن کاملPhotonic Packet Switches: Architectures and Experimental Implementations
Photonic packet switches offer high speed, data rate and format transparency, and flexihility required by future computer com munications and cell-based telecommunications networks. In this paper, we review experimental progress in state-of-the-art pho tonic packet switches with an emphasis on all-optical guided-wave systems. The term all-optical implies that the data portion of a packet rema...
