Patent ID: 10042117

Abstract:
The present invention discloses a photonic crystal (PhC) all-optical AND-transformation logic gate, which comprises a PhC-structure unit, an optical-switch unit, a wave-absorbing load, a NOT-logic gate and a D-type flip-flop; two intermediate-signal output ports of the optical-switch unit are respectively connected with the intermediate-signal input port and the wave-absorbing load of the PhC-structure unit; a clock-signal CP input port is connected with three-branch waveguide, and three output ports are respectively connected with first clock-signal CP input port of the optical-switch unit, second clock-signal CP input port of the PhC-structure unit and the NOT-logic-gate input port; the NOT-logic-gate output port is connected with third clock-signal CP input port of the D-type flip-flop; the signal-output port of the PhC-structure unit is connected with the D-signal input port of the D-type flip-flop. The structure of the present invention is compact in structure and ease of integration with other optical-logic elements.
