Abstract

The aim of this paper was to propose and design a photonic crystal drop filter based on ring resonators and study its properties numerically. This structure is constituted in a two-dimensional square lattice. The resonant wavelengths of the PCRR proposed are λ = 1.553 μm, and the extraction efficiency exceeds 99% with a quality factor of 5177. To study the all-optical OR and XOR logic gate function, we calculated the electric field distribution of the 2D photonic crystal for the 1.553 μm signal light. In order to have a large selectivity of filtering and also of having a fast switching in the field of nonlinearity, we increase the number of ring resonators, and the latter are used for designing all optical logic gates which work using the Kerr effect equal to 10^-6 m²/w.
