The schematic diagram of add-drop micro-ring based all-optical TE/TM polarized decoder, all-optical Kerr switch and all-optical logic application. (a) The schematic diagram is mainly divided into three parts; Upper: the generation of optical TE/TM polarized data. Middle: a pumping light carries a highly peak power pulse-train. Lower: a CW probe source. (b) Schematic diagram for polarization-to-intensity switching with the proposed polarization-selective add-drop micro-ring. The 12-Gbit/s TE/TM polarized data is decoded by (c) an asymmetric bus waveguide and (d) add-drop micro-ring based TE/TM polarized decoder at different polarization angles of input light.
