15 November 2010New configuration of photonic logic gates based on single hexagonal-lattice photonic crystal ring resonator
We report a new configuration of logic gates based on single hexagonal-lattice PCRR composed of cylindrical silicon
rods in air. Two types of inner ring including regular hexagonal and circular are numerically discussed by using 2D
finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique. The impact of surrounding periods and scatterers like size and relative
phase at each input port was investigated. The logic '0' and '1' of hexagonal ring can be defined as less than 17% and
greater than 85%, respectively, much better than early reported square-lattice results. The simulation results also proved
that photonic logic gates based on this new single PCRR can really function as NOT and NOR gates, respectively.
These findings make PCRRs potential applications for all-optical logic circuits and ultra-compact high density photonic
integration.
