Abstract
In this study, a three-input majority gate based on a 2-D photonic crystal is designed and simulated. In this work, a novel majority gate construction with a high contrast ratio of 11.68 dB is designed using photonic crystals. The design is verified and analyzed using finite-difference time-domain method. This design has been computed and simulated numerous times in this work, but with different lattice constants, refractive indices, and silicon rod radii to get an optimized performance of the design. The designed model operates at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Furthermore, bit rate of 34.64 Tbps, transmission efficiency of 102%, insertion loss of 0.086 dB, and response time of 28.87 fs are achieved. The majority gate is also used in full adder computations that only carry outputs.
