Resum:
This dissertation represents a summary of a study of different properties of 1D and 2D third-order nonlinear photonic crystals. It is shown how these properties can be utilized to develop various all-optical devices (e.g. optical limiters and switches, logical gates, optical transistors, etc.) In the dissertation, a novel numerical approximation has been proposed for analyzing the basic characteristics of the nonlinear photonic crystals like dispersion characteristics or transmittance curves. This numerical approximation possesses some important advantages useful in designing all-optical devices based on nonlinear photonic crystals. The software based on its algorithm has allowed to design and simulate a high-production all-optical switching device.
