Abstract
In the present work, nonlinear ring resonator based on two-dimensional hexagonal photonic crystal structure is designed for all optical OR and NOR gates in the wavelength range of 1355–2053 nm. The OR and NOR gates are made up of four optical waveguides which are critically coupled to a nonlinear ring resonator. The electric field distribution and photonic band gap characteristic of the proposed gates are solved by Maxwell equations using finite difference time domain and plane wave expansion methods, respectively. Simulation results by finite difference time domain approach show the minimum contrast ratio of 12.04 and 11.81 dB for OR and NOR logic gates, respectively. Also, the minimum delay time is obtained 1 ps for OR and 1.5 ps for NOR logic gates.
