Terabit all-optical logic based on ultrafast two-dimensional transmission gating.

چکیده
Terabit all-optical complementary logic is proposed using two successive time slots to represent a unique logical status. An organic molecular thin film is used as an array of optically controlled optical switches. By utilizing the planar structure of the film and its ultrafast optical response, proof-of-principle fully optical NOT and AND logic operations were demonstrated with 400-fs interval pulses.

متن کاملHigh speed logic gate using two-photon absorption in silicon waveguides
The switching speed of conventional silicon-based optical switching devices based on plasma dispersion effect is limited by the lifetime of free carriers which introduce either phase or absorption changes. Here we report an all-optical logic NOR gate which does not rely on free carriers but instead uses two-photon absorption. High speed operation was achieved using pump induced non-degenerate t...

Ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) is a pivotal tool for imaging of nanoscale structural dynamics with subparticle resolution on the time scale of atomic motion. Photon-induced near-field electron microscopy (PINEM), a key UEM technique, involves the detection of electrons that have gained energy from a femtosecond optical pulse via photon-electron coupling on nanostructures. PINEM has been ap...
