Design and Performance Analysis of High Speed Optical Binary Code Converter using Micro-Ring Resonator

The present paper describes various attractive logical code conversions using optical micro-ring resonator. We have proposed an all-optical switching activity using silicon waveguide based micro-ring resonator under low-power operation through two-photon absorption effect. The different properties of the optical switch are analyzed through numerical simulation. We have also proposed and described all-optical binary-to-octal, binary-coded-decimal-to-excess-3 and binary-to-Gray-code converter circuits by this proposed architecture. Numerical simulation results for code conversion verifying the proposed methods are given in this paper. We identify a combination of feasible ring radius and detuning through numerical simulation that allows analyzing the system performance of the scheme.
