In future high-speed self-routing photonic networks based on all-optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) it is highly desirable to carry out packet switching, clock recovery and demultplexing in the optical domain in order to avoid the bottleneck due to the optoelectronics conversion. In this paper we propose a self-routing OTDM node structure composed of an all-optical router and demultiplex...

We report a novel grating-assisted coupler that incorporates a photonic-band-gap structure. It is shown that by virtue of the resonant cavity formed by the structure and the grating the relative amounts of the output scattered and the transmitted guided-wave powers can be significantly modified. The potential applications for optical switches and wavelength demultiplexers based on this new conf...

Compact devices for wavelength division multiplexing and demultiplexing, believed to be novel, are presented. These devices are based on planar optics configurations, comprising multiplexed diffractive optical elements. The principle, design, and recording of these planar devices are described, including the fact that the recording is done at a single wavelength in the green region. Experimenta...

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) are prospective nanotechnology with striking performance to tackle the shortcomings of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistor-based technology such as fabrication dimensions and switching speed. The demultiplexer, a crucial component for design many logic circuits, comprises circuit separating multiplex data into data. demultiplexer is high...

Optical demultiplexers are used to receive multiple frequency signal from an optical fiber and to split it into its different frequency components. Arrayed waveguide gratings can be used to design an optical demultiplexer and works on the principle of interferometry. This paper presents the design of optical demultiplexer for an optical signal composed of eight frequency components. Simulation ...
