Abstract

In this paper, we are going to propose and design an all optical half adder based on photonic crystal structures. For realizing the proposed structure, we will use two nonlinear resonant cavities inside a two-dimensional photonic crystal structure. Nonlinear resonant cavities will be created by replacing the ordinary rods via defect rod made of nonlinear material such as doped glass. Plane-wave expansion and finite difference time domain methods will be used for simulating the proposed structure. For the proposed structure, the maximum delay time is about 3 ps.
