we propose a new ring resonator side-coupled m-z interferometer all-optical switch throughthe pumped nonlinear directional coupler. by controlling pump power p to lead the coupler reflectivityr approaching to 1, the resonator finesse will be enhanced dramatically, and then the minimumswitching power in silica-based practice devices can be obtained. as a sample, we use a nonlinearcoupler made by...

Abstract— This paper presented the design of four-port network directional coupler at X-band frequency (8.2-12.4 GHz) by using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technique. SIW appears few years back which provides an excellent platform in order to design millimeter-wave circuits such as filter, antenna, resonator, coupler and power divider. It offers great compensation for smaller size and c...

in this article, we suggested a novel design of polarization splitter based on coupler waveguide on inp substrate at 1.55mm wavelength. photonic crystal structure is consisted of two dimensional (2d) air holes embedded in inp/ingaasp material with an effective refractive index of 3.2634 which is arranged in a hexagonal lattice. the photonic band gap (pbg) of this structure is determined using t...

We numerically simulate a directional coupler based on hybrid SNIMS (semiconductor-nanowire-insulator-metal strip) plasmonic waveguide using COMSOL. The distributions of electromagnetic field and longitudinal energy flux density when only fundamental mode propagates in waveguides are analyzed. The dependences of coupling length and maximum transfer power on the distance of two parallel waveguid...

We report on the fabrication and evaluation of a directional coupler consisting of two different chirped photonic crystal (PC) waveguides that can generate wideband, low dispersion slow light. The directional coupler was fabricated from a silicon-on-insulator PC slab with airhole diameter chirping. For both waveguides, we observed a group index of 60-80 near the photonic band edge and opposite ...

We present simple and accurate relations for the study of parallel and curved tunable single-mode fiber directional couplers employing step-index or graded-index fibers. Analytical results for the various coupler parameters such as coupling coefficient, effective interaction length, tunability, and channel wavelength separation in directional coupler wavelength filters are presented. These resu...

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...

An all-fiber-ring resonator has been constructed using a single strand of single-mode optical fiber and a directional coupler. Derivation of the resonator finesse in terms of fiber and directional coupler parameters is given. A finesse of 80 has been achieved experimentally. Applications of such a fiber-ring resonator are discussed.
