Ultra-Compact Bidirectional Terahertz Switch Based on Resonance in Graphene Ring and Plate

In this paper, we present a switch based on coupling and resonance in thegraphene plate and rings operating at 10 THz. This structure consists of several layers ofHexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN), SiO2 and P+Si, such that graphene plates and rings areinside the hBN layer. The terahertz wave is incident from the upper part of the switchand Surface Plasmons (SPs) are excited ...

Simulation and Design of an Organic Quantum Film Electrooptic Switch

In this paper the simulation and design of a quantum-film electro-optic switch is considered. This photonic device, is made from a new organic dipolar material called MNA or 2-methyl-4 nitroaniline, which possesses a high merit in comparison with it's inorganic counterparts (e.g. LiNbO3, GaAs, InSb, Quartz, etc). Montecarlo method is used to simulate the photon-it-electron interaction in this m...

Optimization of Bistability in Nonlinear Chalcogenide Fiber Bragg Grating for All Optical Switch and Memory Applications

We solve the coupled mode equations governing the chalcogenide nonlinear fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) numerically, and obtain the bistability characteristics. The characteristics of the chalcogenide nonlinear FBGs such as: switching threshold intensity, bistability interval and on-off switching ratio are studied. The effects of FBG length and its third order nonlinear refractive index on FBG cha...

Submicron bidirectional all-optical plasmonic switches

Ultra-small all-optical switches are of importance in highly integrated optical communication and computing networks. However, the weak nonlinear light-matter interactions in natural materials present an enormous challenge to realize efficiently switching for the ultra-short interaction lengths. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a submicron bidirectional all-optical plasmonic switch with an a...
