AbstractOn-chip nanophotonic devices are a class of devices capable of controlling light on a chip to realize performance advantages over ordinary building blocks of integrated photonics. These ultra-fast and low-power nanoscale optoelectronic devices are aimed at high-performance computing, chemical, and biological sensing technologies, energy-efficient lighting, environmental monitoring and more. They are increasingly becoming an attractive building block in a variety of systems, which is attributed to their unique features of large evanescent field, compactness, and most importantly their ability to be configured according to the required application. This review summarizes recent advances of integrated nanophotonic devices and their demonstrated applications, including but not limited to, mid-infrared and overtone spectroscopy, all-optical processing on a chip, logic gates on a chip, and cryptography on a chip. The reviewed devices open up a new chapter in on-chip nanophotonics and enable the application of optical waveguides in a variety of optical systems, thus are aimed at accelerating the transition of nanophotonics from academia to the industry.

Abstract All - optical logic gates OR, XOR, AND and NOT based on two - dimensional ( 2D ) plasmonic metal - insulator - metal ( MIM ) coupled with Elliptical Ring Resonator ( ERR ) are presented , simulated and investigated by using the numerical method of the FEM (finite elements method ). The results are compared and validated with the finite difference time domain ( FDTD ) method . The proposed logic gates are achieved with the same structure using the constructive and destructive optical interferences between a control signal and input signal(s). Their characterization was mainly done for two spectral regions , visible and near - infrared . A high intensity contrast ratios (CR) between the logic states ( “1” and “0” ) can be achieved (28 dB ) at these spectral regions . We introduce a new parameter , "gap- threshold ratio ( GTR )", to characterize the gap between the maximum and minimum of the transmitted signal intensity for all logic gates. The suggested value of transmission threshold between logic 0 and logic 1 states is T th =0.2 . A comparison of the two parameters , (CR) and ( GTR ), with previous works shows that the proposed structure gives very good results for all logic gates configurations. The proposed all- optical logic gates configuration can be a key components in optical processing and telecommunication devices .

All optical tri-state frequency encoded logic gates NOT and NAND are proposed and numerically investigated using TOAD based interferometric switch for the first time to the best of our knowledge. The optical power spectrum, extinction ratio, contrast ration, and amplified spontaneous noise are calculated to analyze and confirm practical feasibility of the gates. The proposed device works for low switching energy and has high contrast and extinction ratio as indicated in this work.

Abstract Increasing the speed of operation in all optical signal processing is very important. For reaching this goal one needs high speed optical devices. Optical half adders are one of the important building blocks required in optical processing. In this paper an optical half adder was proposed by combining nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonators with optical waveguides. Finite difference time domain method wase used for simulating the final structure. The simulation results confirmed that the rise time for the proposed structure is about 1 ps.

This review paper summarizes our previous findings regarding propagation characteristics of band-gap temporal solitons in photonic crystal waveguides with Kerr-type nonlinearity and a realization of functional and easily scalable all-optical NOT, AND and NAND logic gates. The proposed structure consists of a planar air-hole type photonic crystal in crystalline silicon as the nonlinear background material. A main advantage of proposing the gap-soliton as a signal carrier is that, by operating in the true time-domain, the temporal soliton maintains a stable pulse envelope during each logical operation. Hence, multiple concatenated all-optical logic gates can be easily realized paving the way to multiple-input ultrafast full-optical digital signal processing. In the suggested setup, due to the gap-soliton features, there is no need to amplify the output signal after each operation which can be directly used as a new input signal for another logical operation. The efficiency of the proposed logic gates as well as their scalability is validated using our original rigorous theoretical formalism confirmed by full-wave computational electromagnetics.
