Abstract:
A media-defined optical logic circuit composed of a set of light-transmitting polyhedral prisms arranged so that a pair of adjacent prisms can exchange photonic signals through adjacent surfaces. Each prism contains one or more quantum dots that, when excited by a photonic signal received from an adjacent prism, respond by emitting light that becomes an incoming photonic signal for an adjacent prism. Photonic signals are propagated through the circuit in this manner along light-guide paths created by shading certain surfaces to render them fully or partially opaque. The prisms and shading are arranged such that the circuit performs a certain logic function. When the circuit receives a set of photonic input signals representing a binary input value, the circuit responds by emitting a set of photonic output signals that represent a binary output value determined by performing the logic function upon the binary input value.

Claim (Index 8):
A method of forming an optical logic circuit, the method comprising:\n physically arranging a set of polyhedral prisms such that each prism of the set of polyhedral prisms is adjacent to at least one other prism of the set of polyhedral prisms,\n where a quantum dot is embedded into each prism of the set of polyhedral prisms, \n where a first prism of the set of polyhedral prisms is adjacent to a second prism of the set of polyhedral prisms, \n where the second prism is adjacent o a third prism of the set of polyhedral prisms, \n where a sufficiently energetic first photonic signal generated by a quantum dot embedded into the first prism is capable of exciting a second quantum dot embedded into the second prism to emit a second photonic signal capable of exciting a third quantum dot embedded into the third prism to emit a third photonic \n where each emitted photonic signal represents a binary value of a logic function, \n where the physical arrangement of the set of polyhedral prisms is chosen so as to route photonic signals emitted by the set of polyhedral prisms along paths that represent operations of the binary logic function, \n where the physical arrangement of the set of polyhedral prisms is chosen so as allow the circuit to receive a set of photonic input signals through surfaces of one or more input prisms of the set of polyhedral prisms, and \n where the physical arrangement of the set of polyhedral prisms is chosen so as allow the circuit to emit a set of photonic output signals through circuit-output surfaces of one or more circuit-output prisms of the set of polyhedral prisms.
