摘要
The basic logic gates play a key role in performing the mathematical computation. The plasmonics has the uniqueness of confining surface plasmons beyond the diffraction limit. Plasmonic-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer with an extinction ratio of 26dB is proposed to design the structure of all-optical XOR and XNOR logic gate. A theoretical analysis of proposed gate is carried out using finite-difference-Time-domain method and MATLAB simulation results. © 2019 Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Berlin/Boston.
