Abstract

In this paper we proposed optical NOR and NAND gates. By combining nonlinear Kerr effect with photonic crystal ring resonators first we designed a structure, whose optical behavior can be controlled via input power intensity. The switching power threshold obtained for this structure equal to 2kW/μm2. For designing the proposed optical logic gates we employed two resonant rings with the same structures, both rings at the logic gates were designed such that their resonant wavelength be at λ=1550nm. Every proposed logic gate has one bias and two logic input ports. We used plane wave expansion and finite difference time domain methods for analyzing the proposed structures.
