Abstract
Universal gates (NAND and NOR) are used for any electronic circuit that is affordable and straightforward to build all logic gates (LoG). In this work, the T-shaped 2D photonic crystal (PhC) is exploited to design a three-input universal LoG premised on the beam-interference principle. The design criteria of pitch ($a$), rod radius ($r$), and refractive index ($n$) are employed to obtain a high impact output. The methodologies of plane wave expansion and finite-difference time-domain are employed for examining the framework of universal LoG at 1550 nm wavelengths ($\lambda$). The suggested universal LoG design has a compact size of ${8.4}\;{\unicode{x00B5}{\rm m}} \times {4.8}\;{\unicode{x00B5}{\rm m}}$. Additionally, the structure yields a high contrast ratio (CR) of 20.37 dB for the NAND LoG and 28.45 dB for the NOR LoG, and maximum transmission efficiency of 50.6% and 70% for the NAND and NOR gates; correspondingly, the best and worst three-input NAND gate response times are 19.5 ps and 21.4 ps. Similarly, the response time of the three-input NOR gate is 26 ps. The proposed universal gate’s primary goal is to offer a high CR and a compact structure while being compatible with any other logic gate.
