Optical analog to digital conversion is very important for implementing all-optical data processing systems. In this study, we designed an all-optical analog to digital converter using photonic crystal nonlinear ring resonators. The main goal of this study was to design an optical analog to digital converter with no upper limit for the input optical intensity when generating “11” codes at the output ports. Simulation results showed that the maximum rise time for the proposed structure is about 1.5 ps

基于非线性光子晶体环形谐振器的全光模数转换器

光学模数转换对于实现全光学数据处理系统非常重要。在这项研究中，我们设计了一个使用光子晶体非线性环形谐振器的全光模数转换器。这项研究的主要目的是设计一种光学模数转换器，当在输出端口生成“ 11”码时，其输入光强度没有上限。仿真结果表明，该结构的最大上升时间约为1.5 ps。
