In this paper, All-optical AND logic gate with square cavity in 2-D (two dimensions) photonic crystal have been proposed. The square cavity is created by removing rods of dielectric GaAs from a rectangular lattice in air substrate. Photonic crystal (PC) has periodic dielectric structure that has an important characteristic of PC known as photonic band gap (PBG). The property of PBG is that, wavelength within the band gap cannot propagate through the crystal. In this research work, this property is used to design an All-optical AND logic gate. The band diagram gives a good forbidden band gap in the normalized frequency range of 0.554859 ≤ (1/λ) ≤ 0.811549 for Transverse Electric (TE) modes. Therefore, band gap width is 0.25669 and normalized central frequency of band gap is 0.6451.The AND optical logic gate is of very small size 13μm×8μm and the operation of this logic gate is verified at third optical window i. e. 1550 nm, which is the most widely used window in present optical communication system.
