Combinational logical circuits into ternary logic

摘要

In this paper the authors present, from theoretical point of view combinational logical circuits achieved with optical devices that work using a ternary logic. Those three levels are clearly distinct and the danger of confusion does not exist. These models can be implemented not only in the integrated optics but also in the classic optics where the laser beam is propagated through air. The speed of the information transfer is very higher because it is limited only by the speed of light through the respective medium. These models are immune to electromagnetic fields and any type of radiation.
