摘要
We report a new configuration of all-optical logic gates based on two-dimensional (2D) square lattice photonic crystals (PCs) composed of silicon (Si) rods in Silica (SiO2). The proposed device is composed of cross-shaped waveguide and two photonic crystal ring resonators (PCRRs) without nonlinear materials and optical amplifiers. The gate has been simulated and analyzed by finite difference time domain (FDTD) and plane wave expansion (PWE) methods. The simulation results show that the proposed all-optical logic gates could really function as NOR and NAND logic gates. This new device can potentially be used in large-scale optical integration and on-chip photonic logic integrated circuits. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
