Abstract

The implementation of optical logic operations has been studied widely and was demonstrated in various types of systems [1,2,3]. A major goal for implementing these types of systems in future applications is miniaturization and integration. A design for an integrated version of an optical symbolic substitution system, which can be implemented with existing micro-optical components, was presented recently [4]. In this paper, as a first step towards a fully integrated system, we demonstrate basic logic operations on an array by cascading two active devices.
