Abstract
Nowadays, huge data traffic requires a high-speed processing, and an increase in processor clocking speed, which currently highly exceeds electronic memory speed causing Memory Wall. Therefore, the use of optical memories is a logical solution for high speed data processing. In this thesis, a large-scale parallel integration of wavelength addressable optical bit memories is presented, based on three photonic crystal nanocavities (Cav1, Cav2, and Cav3) filled with 5CB liquid crystal. Each cavity stores two different wavelengths, where each wavelength is representing a single bit. We have calculated Q factors in biased and unbiased states for Cav1, Cav2, and Cav3. Also, the group velocities and field distribution across the storage cell have been calculated in the biased and unbiased cases for all cavities to confirm the storage and confinement. The maximum consumed power for six bits optical memory was only 13 nW.
