Abstract:
1. A photonic logic device comprising: a) a laser cavity having at least three conduits, wherein each conduit protrudes from an edge of said laser cavity; b) at least three outputs, each output being connected to a conduit of said laser cavity; c) at least one port, said at least one port being connected to an edge of said laser cavity from which said at least three conduits do not protrude; d) at least one input, said at least one input being connected to said at least one port; e) at least three mirrors, each of said mirrors being disposed between one of said at least three outputs and one of said at least three conduits; f) a bias contact connected to said cavity and said at least three outputs, wherein said bias contact includes a notch, and wherein said bias contact is in contact with substantially all of said cavity except that said bias contact does not contact one of said at least three conduits at the location of said notch; g) a substrate connected to said cavity.
