Study the role of non-linear resonant cavities in photonic crystal-based decoder switches

Abstract In this paper, we are going to design and propose a novel structure for all optical decoder. The proposed structure is composed of optical power splitters and a four-port optical switch. The four-port optical switch simply is a non-linear optical demulitiplexer. For achieving non-linear behaviour for the demultiplexer, we will employ defect rods made of doped glass which has high Kerr coefficient. The final structure has three input ports and four output ports. Port E acts as enable port, which will be used activating or deactivating the total structure. A and B are the control ports, by which one can control when the structure is active, which port of the structure to be active. The optical intensity of the input ports required appropriate operation of the structure is about 20 W/μm2. The maximum switching frequency of the proposed structure is 2 GHz. Reduced input optical intensity is the main characteristics of the present work. Numerical methods such as plane wave expansion and finite difference time domain were used for performing the required calculations.
