Article Abstract
In this paper, a novel interference-based nanostructure was designed and simulated to realize an all-optical 2-bit reversible comparator by employing a novel technique. The plane wave expansion (PWE) method was adopted to analyze the encoder design and frequency modes. Aside from downsizing, the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method was utilized for the simulation and numerical analysis of the design proposed herein. An ultra-compact nanostructure with a 129.8 μm footprint was utilized for the all-optical 2-bit reversible comparator. One of the noteworthy characteristics of the proposed nanostructure was its excellent contrast ratio (i.e., 13.8 dB) in comparison to other nanostructures. The bitrate and delay time in this nanostructure were 3.33 Tb/s and 300 fs, respectively. Based on the findings of the simulations conducted at a central wavelength of 1.55 μm, it is recommended to employ the nanostructure proposed herein during the third telecom window. A photonic crystal nano-resonator was utilized to design the high-performance all-optical 2-bit reversible comparator, which may also be employed in integrated optical circuits (IOCs).

High-performance signal processing and telecommunication systems absolutely necessitate analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that offer extensive bandwidth, exceptional precision, and minimal power consumption, in order to efficiently convert real-world analog signals into digital signals. While current electronic ADCs are constrained by limitations such as low bandwidth, high jitter noise, susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, and excessive energy consumption, photonic ADCs present promising solutions to overcome these challenges. Here, a programmable photonic ADC is developed by integrating phase-change materials (PCMs) with silicon photonics fabricated using foundry processes.

Terahertz modulators play a critical role in high-speed wireless communication, non-destructive imaging, and so on, which have attracted a large amount of research interest. Nevertheless, all-optical terahertz modulation, an ultrafast dynamical control approach, remains to be limited in terms of encoding and multifunction. Here we experimentally demonstrated an optical-programmed terahertz switching realized by combining optical metasurfaces with the terahertz metasurface, resulting in 2-bit dual-channel terahertz encoding.

Optical computing with optical transistors has emerged as a possible solution to the exponentially growing computational workloads, yet an on-chip nano-optical modulation remains a challenge due to the intrinsically noninteracting nature of photons in addition to the diffraction limit. Here, we present an all-optical approach toward nano-excitonic transistors using an atomically thin WSe/MoWSe heterobilayer inside a plasmonic tip-based nanocavity. Through optical wavefront shaping, we selectively modulate tip-enhanced photoluminescence (TEPL) responses of intra- and interlayer excitons in a ∼25 nm area, demonstrating the enabling concept of an ultrathin 2-bit nano-excitonic transistor.
