A novel proposal for all-optical 1-bit comparator using nonlinear PhCRRs

All-optical comparators play crucial roles in all-optical data processing systems. In this paper, we proposed a novel structure for realizing an all-optical comparator, which can compare two 1-bit binary codes. For this purpose, we used three nonlinear resonant rings. The final structure has two inp...

Description
Summary:All-optical comparators play crucial roles in all-optical data processing systems. In this paper, we proposed a novel structure for realizing an all-optical comparator, which can compare two 1-bit binary codes. For this purpose, we used three nonlinear resonant rings. The final structure has two input and three output ports. The maximum rise and fall times for the proposed structure are about 1.5 and 2 ps, respectively.
