Abstract

In this paper, an all optical switch based on linear photonic crystal directional coupler, consists of three regions of input, coupling and output has been Simulated and analyzed in order to increase high speed and quality of switches. For this reason FDTD method has also been identified as the preferred method for performing electromagnetic simulations. We have tried to increase the coupling efficiency and reduce the required power in the linear statue. Therefore, the input signal beam can be controlled to be exchanged between two output ports to earn the highest output power. As a result, electric field intensity and the power output that are two important factors to improve the switching performance and the device efficiency. Where central row rods are (0.15a) and (0.16a), all optical directional coupler switches have been investigated and simulated by using COMSOL software..
