具有纳米光子器件的集成光路由于其低功耗和光速操作而引起了极大的关注。利用光干涉和共振现象，纳米光子器件像传输晶体管一样作为电压控制的光学传输门工作。本文首先介绍了光传输门逻辑的概念，然后提出了一种基于光传输门逻辑的并行加法器电路。光电电路模拟器的实验结果表明，我们的光学并行加法器电路的优势，传统的CMOS为基础的并行加法器电路。
Integrated optical circuits with nanophotonic devices have attracted significant attention due to their low power dissipation and light-speed operation. With light interference and resonance phenomena, the nanophotonic device works as a voltage-controlled optical pass-gate like a pass-transistor. This article first introduces the concept of optical pass-gate logic and then proposes a parallel adder circuit based on optical pass-gate logic. Experimental results obtained with an optoelectronic circuit simulator show the advantages of our optical parallel adder circuit over a traditional CMOS-based parallel adder circuit.
