Abstract:
An all optical logic circuit includes a micro-ring resonator (110) optically coupled to a waveguide (115) The waveguide (115) provides multiple optical input signals (INPUT A, INPUT B) and an optical probe signal (PROBE) at a different frequency (lambda s) than the optical input signals (INPUT A, INPUT B) to the micro-ring resonator (110) such that the probe signal (PROBE) exhibits logical amplitude transitions as a function of the multiple input signals (INPUT A, INPUT B) The logical amplitude transitions of the optical probe signal (PROBE) correlate to an ANDing or NANDing of the optical input signals (INPUT A, INPUT B) In one embodiment, the all optical logic circuit is an integrated silicon device.
