Abstract

Present manuscript designs and analyzes numerically all-optical binary-to-gray code (BTGC) converter utilizing silicon microring resonator. A waveguide-based silicon microring resonator has been employed to achieve optical switching under low-power conditions using the two-photon absorption effect. Gray code (GC) is a binary numerical system in which two consecutive codes distinguished by only one bit. The GC is critical in optics communication because it prevents spurious output from optical switches and facilitates error correction in optical communications. MATLAB is used to design and analyze the architecture at almost 260 Gbps operational speed. The faster response times and compact design of the demonstrated circuits make them especially useful for optical communication systems. Performance indicating factors evaluated from MATLAB results and analyzed. Design parameters that are optimized have been chosen in order to construct the model practically.
