Photonic band gap materials: towards an all-optical transistor

Marian Florescu A

The transmission of information as optical signals encoded on light waves traveling through optical fibers and optical networks is increasingly moving to shorter and shorter distance scales. In the near future, optical networking is poised to supersede conventional transmission over electric wires and electronic networks for computer-to-computer communications, chip-to-chip communications, and even on-chip communications. The ever-increasing demand for faster and more reliable devices to process the optical signals offers new opportunities in developing all-optical signal processing systems (systems in which one optical signal controls another, thereby adding "intelligence" to the optical networks). All-optical switches, two-state and many-state all-optical memories, all-optical limiters, all-optical discriminators and all-optical transistors are only a few of the many devices proposed during the last two decades. The "all-optical" label is commonly used to distinguish the devices that do not involve dissipative electronic transport and require essentially no electrical communication of information. The all-optical transistor action was first observed in the context of optical bistability [1] and consists in a strong differential gain regime, in which, for small variations in the input intensity, the output intensity has a very strong variation. This analog operation is for all-optical input what transistor action is for electrical inputs.

Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

Nanophotonics describes optical science and technology at the nanoscale that offers challenging opportunities for studying fundamental processes of interaction between the radiation eld and the matter on a scale much smaller than the wavelength of radiation. The use of such conned interaction to spatially localized processes offers exciting opportunities to chemists. Nanophotonics is considered to be of immense technological signicance. The evolution and development of the nanophotonics technology with the increased need for an internetworking broadband communication had lead to the development of more sophisticated optical networks. Those networks are now interconnected CONTENTS Summary ........................................................................................................................................ 21 2.1 Introduction ..........................................................................................................................22 2.2 Nanometer Connement and Fabrication of Matter ......................................................22 2.3 Application of Computational Intelligence in Photonics Technology .........................23
