All-optical switch with two periodically modulated nonlinear waveguides.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a type of all-optical switch which consists of two periodically modulated nonlinear optical waveguides placed in parallel. Compared to the all-optical switch based on the traditional nonlinear directional coupler without periodic modulation, this all-optical switch has much lower switching threshold power and sharper switching width.

We propose a novel two state and all-optical controllable switch using DIT, Kerr effect and interaction between quantum dots (QD) and quantum electrodynamics cavity (CQED). The two state and all-optical controllable switch is coupled to photonic waveguide from a rapid nonlinear environment (photonic crystal) and CQED. We consider the nano-crystal are doped to crystal photonic cavity as a 4-leve...
متن کاملLight propagation in periodically modulated complex waveguides
Light propagation in optical waveguides with periodically modulated index of refraction and alternating gain and loss are investigated for linear and nonlinear systems. Based on a multiscale perturbation analysis, it is shown that for many non-parity-time(PT -) symmetric waveguides, their linear spectrum is partially complex; thus light exponentially grows or decays upon propagation, and this g...
متن کاملSoliton emission at a phase-mismatch boundary in a quadratic nonlinear film waveguide.
We report the experimental demonstration of spatial nonlinear beam displacement caused by an interface between periodically modulated and uniform quadratic nonlinearity. We observe intensity- and phase-mismatch-dependent spatial beam displacement at 1548 nm in lithium niobate waveguides. The device has the potential to provide a soliton-emission-based, ultrafast all-optical switch.
متن کاملShaping and switching of polychromatic light in arrays of periodically curved nonlinear waveguides∗ Research Article
We overview our recent theoretical results on spatio-spectral control, diffraction management, and broadband all-optical switching of polychromatic light in periodically curved one and two dimensional arrays of coupled optical waveguides. In particular, we show that polychromatic light beams and patterns produced by white-light and supercontinuum sources can experience wavelength-independent no...
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...
