TY - JOUR AU - Sheykhian, Arezoo AB - In this paper, a half adder was designed based on two-dimensional photonic crystals with small dimensions and a simple structure. Half adders are an important component of logic circuits, thus, designing a high-performance half adder can improve the function of computational circuits. In addition to the dimensions and simplicity of the structure, speed and accuracy were also considered in the design of this half adder. The respective proximity of the state outputs 0 and 1 of this circuit to zero exponentiation and the maximum exponentiation value has led to a significant distance between the two values of reasonable 0 and 1. cylindrical dielectric rods were employed in the air field. This half adder was designed to be utilized in the widely-used telecommunication frequency of 1550 nm. All computations are performed for TM mode and through using the finite difference methods in the domain of time (FDTD). The designed structure size was 80.28μm2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal}\usepackage{amsmath}\usepackage{wasysym}\usepackage{amsfonts}\usepackage{amssymb}\usepackage{amsbsy}\usepackage{mathrsfs}\usepackage{upgreek}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt}\begin{document}$$80.28 {\mathrm{\mu m}}^{2}$$\end{document}, which is suitable for optical integrated circuits.
