Abstract

All optical analog to digital converters will play crucial roles in the future generation of all optical data processing. Cascading optical limiters is a suitable method for designing all optical analog to digital converters. In this paper an optical limiter was proposed using two nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonator, then by cascading 4 optical limiters an structure was proposed for realizing a 5-bit all optical converter. With the help of two examples the correct operation of the proposed structure was confirmed. The total foot print of the proposed structure is about 1796 mm2.
