ABSTRACTAll-optical switches and all-optical bistabili ties are realized by waveguide structures with vacuum evaporated polydiacetylene(PDA) films. The basic structure of the all-optical switches are prepared in the form of layered waveguide directional coupler with vacuum evaporated PDA top layer. Clearly switchings are observed at 1064nm of pulsed Nd:YAG laser. Furthermore ultra-high speed switching with Ti;Safire 135fs laser are recognized.Operations of all-optical bistabilities are carried out by nonlinear coupling at grating structures in waveguides with PDA top layers. Hysterisis curves of bistability are affected by coupling parameters of gratings and parameters of waveguides.

Switching is a principle process in digital computers and signal processing systems. The growth of optical signal processing systems, draws particular attention to design of ultra-fast optical switches. In this paper, All Optical Switches in linear state Based On photonic crystal Directional coupler is analyzed and simulated. Among different methods, the finite difference time domain method (FDTD) is a preferable method and is used. We have studied the application of photonic crystal lattices, the physics of optical switching and photonic crystal Directional coupler. In this paper, Electric field intensity and the power output that are two factors to improve the switching performance and the device efficiency are investigated and simulated. All simulations are performed by COMSOL software.
