In the present paper, we have utilized the concept of photonic crystals for the implementation of an optical NOT gate inverter. The designed structure has a hexagonal arrangement of silicon rods in air substrate. The logic function is based on the phenomenon of the existence of the photonic bandgap and resulting guided modes in defect photonic crystal waveguides. We have plotted the transmission, extinction ratio, and tolerance analysis graphs for the structure, and it has been observed that the maximum output is obtained for a telecom wavelength of 1.554 μm. Dispersion curves are obtained using the plane wave expansion method, and the transmission is simulated using the finite element method. The proposed structure is applicable for photonic integrated circuits due to its simple structure and clear operating principle.

These circuits are realized for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, on a photonic crystal platform with the aim of achieving power efficient, simple, and compact devices suitable for photonic integrated circuits. The proposed structures are realized using all-optical reconfigurable XOR/NOT gates with compact dimensions, low power consumption, and high contrast ratios.

Among different kinds of optical sensors based on such as fibers, surface plasmons and resonators; photonic crystal (PC) based optical sensors enable the realization of more compact and highly efficient on-chip sensing platforms due to their intriguing dispersive relations. Interferometric devices based on PCs render possible the creation of biochemical sensors with high sensitivity since a slight change of sensor path length caused by the captured biochemicals could be detected at the output of the interferometer via the interferences of separated beams.

Also, as far as we know, one of the main disadvantages of previous optical adders or subtractors is that, inside a single structure, the levels of optical intensity for logic 1 at different output ports are different. In this work, we aim to solve this issue, too.
