Ultra-fast all-optical 8-to-3 encoder utilizing photonic crystal fiber

This work proposes a novel design of an 8-to-3 encoder in a photonic crystal fiber (PCF). It is composed of a buffer and three OR logic gates using circular air holes in a silicon dioxide substrate. We have employed the plane-wave expansion technique to analyze the band structure of the proposed PCF...
