Abstract
In order to rapidly process information, high-speed processors are required. Optical instruments are appropriate for optical processors because of the high speed of information transference. In order to design optical processors, a structure that has the ability to integrate is required. Photonic crystals are suitable structures that can be used to design and implement different kinds of optical instruments. In this paper, an optical half-subtractor has been designed, based on two-dimensional photonic crystals. Owing to its small size and simple design, this half-subtractor can be used in optical integrated circuits. The very low-time delay of this half-subtractor is responsible for its high bit-rate.
