Design of the Smart Optoelectronic Exclusive OR Gate Based on Multimode Interference Structure

摘要

A novel smart optoelectronic XOR gate based on multimode interference structure has been proposed for the first time. Different from conventional methods, the multimode interference structure is employed to realize the XOR logic function. It takes advantages of the linear operation and the easy-to-implement logic function. In this paper, the detailed investigations such as configuration of the logic gate, and design rules of MMI structure have been considered.
