By exploiting nonlinear effects in a semiconductor optical amplifier, different functionalities for all-optical digital signal processing are implemented. In particular we demonstrate the logic functions of integrated addition-subtraction and demultiplexing. The all-optical realizations are based on semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI), which represent one...

In modern digital world, selected nano-sized effective alternative widely “CMOS Technology” because all limitat...

AbstractIn today’s world everyday a new technology which is faster, smaller and more complex than its predecessor is being developed. The increased number of transistors packed onto a chip of a conventional system results in increased power consumption that is why Reversible logic has drawn attention of Researchers due to its less heat dissipating characteristics. Reversible logic can be impose...

In recent years, Quantum Electronics and Reversible Logic have emerged as a major area of research having applications in low power CMOS circuits, cryptography, optical computing and nanotechnology. The fact that classical logic gates such as AND, OR, XOR etc., barring the NOT gate, cannot predict the input given the output and hence generate heat due to information loss, has given rise to the ...

Photochromes are photoswitchable, bistable chromophores which, like transistors, can implement binary logic operations. When several photochromes are combined in one molecule, interactions between them such as energy and electron transfer allow design of simple Boolean logic gates and more complex logic devices with all-photonic inputs and outputs. Selective isomerization of individual photochr...

Under ideal conditions, Reversible logic gates produce zero power dissipation. So these can be used for low power VLSI design. This paper proposes a new reversible parallel adder/subtractor using 4*4 Reversible DKG gate that can work singly as a reversible full adder and a full subtractor. A serial adder/subtractor is also designed in this paper using Reversible Universal Shift registers and DK...

Complex number multiplication is an important arithmetic function in digital communication, radar, and optical system. Many major functions in the communication systems such as channel equalization; modulation and demodulation all deal with data streams and coefficients represented by complex numbers. Therefore efficient implementation of multiplier circuit for complex numbers is of significant...

We propose and numerically demonstrate an ultrafast real-time ordinary differential equation (ODE) computing unit in optical field based on a silicon microring resonator, operating in the critical coupling region as an optical temporal differentiator. As basic building blocks of a signal processing system, a subtractor and a splitter are included in the proposed structure. This scheme is featur...
