As energy efficiency becomes a paramount issue in this day and age, reversible computing may serve as a critical step towards energy conservation in information technology. The inputs of reversible computing elements define the outputs and vice versa. Some reversible gates such as the Fredkin gate are also universal; that is, they may be used to produce any logic operation. It is possible to fi...

This paper presents a novel low-power and high-speed 1-bit full-adder, which is designed based on pass transistor and TG logics. The main advantage of this design is low propagation delay and lowpower consumption, which leads to achieving lower PDP than others. Intensive HSPICE simulation shows that the new full-adder consumes around 28.5% less power than 14T adder; moreover its PDPis 30% less ...

An ultralow-loss optical phase change material enables reversible programming of the flow light in silicon photonics.

We report on a novel nondestructive and reversible method for coupling free space light to planar optical waveguides. In this method, an elastomeric grating is used to produce an effective refractive index modulation on the surface of the optical waveguide. The external elastomeric grating binds to the surface of the waveguide with van der Waals forces and makes conformal contact without any ap...
