The versatile control of graphene's plasmonic modes via an external gate-voltage inspires us to design efficient electro-optical graphene plasmonic logic gates at the midinfrared wavelengths. We show that these devices are superior to the conventional optical logic gates because the former possess cut-off states and interferometric effects. Moreover, the designed six basic logic gates (i.e., NO...

In this paper we numerically investigate the effect of relative phase on thestability of temporal bright solitons in a Nano PT- Symmetric nonlinear directionalcoupler (NLDC) by considering gain in bar and loss in cross. We also study the effect ofrelative phase on the output perturbed bright solitons energies, in the range of   0 to 180 . By using perturbation theory three eigenfunctions an...

Considering the benefits of Quantum and Optics, if the logic gates in the quantum field and electronic structure are implemented using optical elements, then it will be benefited from advantages of Quantum and design, and these processing circuits can be used in optical computing and quantum computing, genetic processes, and other useful nanotechnology applications. In this study, we have intro...

The main theoretical and experimental backgrounds of two-photon absorption (TPA) and TPA-induced free carriers in silicon are presented in detail. In particular, the mostly recent experimental achievements in applications of TPA and TPAinduced free carriers are discussed, such as optical limiting, optical pulse shaping, all-optical switching and modulation, alloptical logic gates, all-optical w...

We propose deterministic schemes for controlled-NOT (CNOT), Toffoli, and Fredkin gates between flying photon qubits and the collective spin wave (magnon) of an atomic ensemble inside double-sided optical microcavities. All the gates can be accomplished with 100% success probability in principle and no additional qubit is required. Atomic ensemble is employed so that light-matter coupling is rem...

All-optical soliton logic operations, facilitated by incoherent interactions of multiple spatial solitons with nonlinear interfaces, are proposed and analyzed. A particlelike model, validated by beam propagation simulations, was developed for calculating the soliton trajectories and was employed for the analysis of the soliton-based logic gates. © 2005 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 190...
