Abstract
Digital photonic processing has received significant attention today. In this work, we have designed and numerically simulated a photonic logical processing unit (PLPU) using silicon on insulator (SOI)-based configurable photonic switch (CPS). The performance of the proposed PLPU has been analyzed and investigated using time- and frequency-domain modeling (TFDM) with MATLAB. The analysis includes the design of configurable photonic switch, photonic logic gates, adders, subtractor, encoder, decoder, multiplexer, demultiplexer, and a comparator. It is expected that such designs have the potential to be the key components for future reconfigurable digital photonic integrated circuits due to their scalability and re-usability.
期刊介绍:
he Journal of Computational Electronics brings together research on all aspects of modeling and simulation of modern electronics. This includes optical, electronic, mechanical, and quantum mechanical aspects, as well as research on the underlying mathematical algorithms and computational details. The related areas of energy conversion/storage and of molecular and biological systems, in which the thrust is on the charge transport, electronic, mechanical, and optical properties, are also covered.
In particular, we encourage manuscripts dealing with device simulation; with optical and optoelectronic systems and photonics; with energy storage (e.g. batteries, fuel cells) and harvesting (e.g. photovoltaic), with simulation of circuits, VLSI layout, logic and architecture (based on, for example, CMOS devices, quantum-cellular automata, QBITs, or single-electron transistors); with electromagnetic simulations (such as microwave electronics and components); or with molecular and biological systems. However, in all these cases, the submitted manuscripts should explicitly address the electronic properties of the relevant systems, materials, or devices and/or present novel contributions to the physical models, computational strategies, or numerical algorithms.
