Optical logic gates play important roles in all-optical circuits, which lie at the heart of next-generation optical computing technology. However, intrinsic contradiction between compactness and robustness hinders development this field. Here, we propose a simple design principle that can possess multiple-input-output states according to incident circular polarization direction based on metasur...

Reversible logic is emerged as a promising computing paradigm with applications in low-power CMOS, quantum computing, optical computing and nanotechnology. Optical logic gates become potential component to work at macroscopic (light pulses carry information), or quantum (single photon carries information) levels with high efficiency. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme of Hybrid new gate r...

Ultrafast all-optical logic gates that accept optical inputs in which wavelength designates bit position within the overall byte are proposed and demonstrated. Four-wave mixing is shown to provide a conditional test function that can be used to construct any multi-input logic gate. Polarization provides the logic state for each bit. Implementations that use semiconductor optical amplifiers as t...

Since the seventies of the past century the reversible logic has originated as an unconventional form of computing. It is new relatively in the area of extensive applications in quantum computing, low power CMOS, DNA computing, digital signal processing (DSP), nanotechnology, communication, optical computing, computer graphics, bio information, etc .Here we present and configure a new TAND gate...

In this paper, we present the design of All-optical OR logic gate based on 2-D (two dimension) photonic crystals. To realize this, we consider the photonic crystals (PCs) with a square lattice of dielectric rods (refractive index=3.40). These rods are surrounded by air (refractive index=1).First we design the structure using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method and in second step, we...

A programmable optical computer has remained an elusive concept. To construct a practical computing primitive equivalent to an electronic Boolean logic, one should find a nonlinear phenomenon that overcomes weaknesses present in many optical processing schemes. Ideally, the nonlinearity should provide a functionally complete set of logic operations, enable ultrafast all-optical programmability,...
