Nonlinear optical decoder based on photonic quasi crystal ring resonator structure

Abstract

Abstract Using two nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonators we proposed and designed an all optical decoder. 2D 12 fold quasicrystal was used as the core section of the resonant rings. In order to make use of advantages of nonlinear Kerr effect, we put 24 dielectric rods between the core and outer shell of the resonant ring. The linear refractive index and nonlinear Kerr coefficient of these rods are n 0 = 1.4 and n 2 = 10−14 m2/W. In the proposed structure port I was used to switch the optical beams coming from BIAS between O1 and O2 output ports. The optical intensity required for performing the switching task is about 0.1 kW/μm2.
