All Optical Reversible NOR Gates using TOAD
In recent past, 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 T...
متن کاملUltrafast All-Optical Reversible Peres and Feynman-Double Logic Gates with Silicon Microring Resonators
We present designs of reversible Peres logic gate and FeynmanDouble logic gate based on all-optical switching by two-photon absorption induced free-carrier injection in silicon add-drop microring resonators. The logic gates have been theoretically analyzed using time-domain coupled-mode theory and all-optical switching has been optimized for low-power (25 mW) ultrafast (25 ps) operation with hi...
متن کاملAll-optical switching with bacteriorhodopsin protein coated microcavities and its application to low power computing circuits
We show all-optical switching of an input infrared laser beam at 1310 nm by controlling the photoinduced retinal isomerization to tune the resonances in a silica microsphere coated with three bacteriorhodopsin BR protein monolayers. The all-optical tunable resonant coupler re-routes the infrared beam between two tapered fibers in 50 s using a low power 200 W green 532 nm and blue 405 nm pump be...
متن کاملAll-optical switching with bacteriorhodopsin
All-optical, mirrorless switching and bistability is demonstrated with bacteriorhodopsin (bR). A low-power, 532 nm laser beam modulates the transmission of a cw laser beam at 635 nm that corresponds to peak absorption of the Oexcited state in the bR photocycle. The switch has features like a NOT-gate; its switching contrast depends on the pulse width and average power of the modulating laser. T...
متن کاملAll-Optical Logic Gates Based on Nonlinear Slot Waveguide Couplers
A novel design of all-optical logic gates based on nonlinear slot waveguide couplers is proposed. NOT, OR, and AND logic gates can be realized by simple single optical directional coupler configuration. Strong polarization dependencies of slot waveguides are effectively utilized for realizing polarization-independent optical directional couplers in linear regime and polarization-dependent all-o...
