Silicon Microring Resonator-Based All-Optical Reversible 2 : 1 Multiplexer: Numerical Analysis

Abstract

Future computing systems will likely require reversible logic gates since, in the best of circumstances; they are known to provide zero power dissipation. Reversible logic gates also have the advantage of minimizing quantum costs and unused outputs. In this work, reversible 2 : 1 multiplexer has been implemented using all-optical microring resonator. Reversible multiplexer is simulated in MATLAB at 260 Gbps. Some performance indicating factors such as “extinction ratio”, “contrast ratio”, “relative eye opening”, etc are analyzed and developed. The chosen optimal parameters can be validated practically.
