Abstract

Based on polarization independent optical splitters and beam splitters, a new logic gate design method based on self collimation effect is proposed. Using the characteristics of light self-collimation transmission in the photonic crystal, combined with the optical splitter, the optical path difference is introduced, so that the corresponding phase difference between the incident light is generated. It makes the light beam produce interference effect at the beam splitter converge, so as to realize the logic function of NOR gate, NAND gate and XOR gate. Simultaneously, the plane wave expansion method and the finite difference time domain method are used to simulate and analyze the logic gate in the TM polarization mode to verify its logic function. The analysis of the results shows that the logic gate designed by self-collimation effect and linear interference is compact, smaller in size, easy to manufacture, short in time response, high in transmittance, and more suitable for the development of optical integration.
