All-Optical Logic Gates Using a Plasmonic MIM Waveguide and Elliptical Ring Resonator
Source abstract
Abstract
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 .
