Abstract
Proposed manuscript designs and analyzes the all-optical NOR, NAND, XNOR and XOR gates using silicon microring resonator based 2:1 multiplexer. Growing demand for ultra-fast terahertz data transfer and processing has driven the field to consider large-scale optical integrated circuits as a substitute to traditional CMOS technology. In addition, energy-efficient networks are becoming more essential. MATLAB is used to design and analyze the architecture at almost 260 Gbps. Different key performance parameters are assessed such as contrast ratio of 18.8 dB, extinction ratio of 15.8 dB and amplitude modulation of 0.11 dB at a very low pump power of 1.96 mW which is satisfactory for the proposed design. Processing of digital signals and communication systems can benefit greatly from the demonstrated multiplexer-based circuits' compact architecture and faster reaction times. To make practical use of the design, optimal design parameters are selected.
期刊介绍：
The journal Silicon is intended to serve all those involved in studying the role of silicon as an enabling element in materials science. There are no restrictions on disciplinary boundaries provided the focus is on silicon-based materials or adds significantly to the understanding of such materials. Accordingly, such contributions are welcome in the areas of inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, nanoscience, environmental science, electronics and optoelectronics, and modeling and theory. Relevant silicon-based materials include, but are not limited to, semiconductors, polymers, composites, ceramics, glasses, coatings, resins, composites, small molecules, and thin films.
