Tóm tắt

Optical encoders are one of the important optical logic devices required in optical communications and optical signal processing. In this paper, we proposed a novel structure for designing an all-optical 4-to-2 optical encoder based on photonic crystals. For this purpose, four photonic crystal-based ring resonators were located between the input and output ports which results in improved coupling efficiencies between input and output waveguide and reduced cross-reflection between the input ports. The central wavelength of the photonic crystal-based ring resonators is 1555 nm. However, due to its wide bandwidth the proposed structure can be used for a wide range of optical waves. In the proposed structure, the delay time and the ON/OFF contrast ratio are 1.8 ps and 9.2 dB, respectively. The other advantages of the proposed structure is that we did not use nonlinear materials in designing the proposed structure, so there is no need for high amount of optical intensities.
