PROSPECTS OF PHOTONIC CRYSTALS APPLICATION IN MODERN DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS

Abstract

Nowadays the increase of data processing rate using the latest achievements in the sphere of nanotechnology and optoelectronics is the problem of paramount importance. Photonic crystals have all the necessary features, enabling to provide complete or partial replacement of existing processing systems. But in spite of many advantages of such systems the problem of matching new elements with the existing ones has to be solved.
