Photonic crystal-based optical interconnect

A theoretical optical data pathway model was developed to evaluate the impact of emerging on photonic crystal-based optical networks. One of the first trend was the development of higher speed and denser switching devices in silicone and gallium arsenide (GaAs). The second trend was the development of new architectures for increasing the parallelism and throughput of a computing system. A optical data pathway model was developed to explore the known physical properties of photonic crystals. The model provided the basis for creating theoretical photonic devices for experimental development of chip-to-chip integrated circuit interconnections, transreceivers, and receivers. The model analyzed that photonic optical waveguides support propagating states, with frequencies that are confined within a narrow band located inside the bandgap of the photonic crystal.
