Abstract

Optical computing, based on the photonic CMOS technology, may substantially improve the analog or digital processing capabilities, and expand silicon photonics markets. There are two types of optical computing: photon-assisted optoelectronic computing and quantum optical computing. The former requires no change in existing circuit designs. The latter may require new features in logic designs, so is suitable for newly developed sections that are connected and fully compatible with existing sub-5nm ULSI circuits. In this paper, we will discuss how to implement the coherent micro-holographic effects, generated by photonic CMOSFETs, for optical computers.
