A Novel Proposal for All Optical Analog-to-Digital Converter Based on Photonic Crystal Structures

In this paper, we proposed a novel all optical analog-to-digital (ADC) converter based on photonic crystals. First of all, we designed a three port nonlinear demultiplexer, for producing discrete levels of input optical intensity. Then, an optical coder was used to generate a 2-bit standard binary c...
