Improving the Performance of 2-To-4 Optical Decoders Based on Photonic Crystal Structures

Abstract: In this study, a novel, two-dimensional photonic crystal-based structure for the 2-to-4 optical decoder is presented. The structure consists of 23 rows and 14 columns of chalcogenide rods that are arranged in a square lattice with a spatial periodicity of 530 nm. The bias and the optical signals are guided toward the main waveguide through the three waveguides. Two unequal powers are applied to the input ports to approach the different intensities proportional to four working states into the main waveguide. Fo… Show more

“…level was increased from 82 to 99% for output ports, which is more than in other works [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Also, the size of the device is 228 μm 2 more compact than some works [12,13].…”

“…The amount of their contrast ratio, time analysis, and area distinguishes them from each other. There is a report of a 2-to-4 decoder which is constructed by eight waveguides, which are connecting two input ports, X and Y to four output ports, O0, O1, O2, and O3 (see Figure 3a) [7]. One bias signal from port E is applied to the waveguide W1 for interfering with two signals coming from input ports through the waveguides W2 and W3.…”

“…By tuning the geometric parameters of PhCs, the wavelength ranges of PBGs can be flexibly controlled [4]. By virtue of their prohibition property for light propagation, PBGs have been widely utilized to design various optical devices, such as lasers [5,6], fibers [7,8], absorbers [9][10][11][12][13][14], filters [15][16][17][18][19], sensors [20][21][22][23][24], polarization selectors [25,26], electro-optical encoders [27], optical decoders [28], all-optical flip-flops [29], and multiplexers [30,31]. Omnidirectional photonic bandgaps (OPBGs) represent the intersections of wavelength ranges of PBGs at all the incident angles [32].…”
