Abstract

All-optical frequency-encoded AND, OR, and NOT logic gates are proposed and their performance simulated to confirm their feasibility. Terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD)-based logic gates with a control pulse energy as low as 50 fJ are used, and real-time simulations of their input and output pulse patterns reveal a rate of 20 Gbps. Such logic gates could be used for future all-optical logic processors for optical computation and communication systems.
