Abstract
A multiple-input hybrid plasmonic OR logic gate has been constructed, analyzed, and simulated utilizing the finite element method by using the COMSOL software package version 5.5. To realize the suggested three- and four-input hybrid plasmonic OR gate, constructive and destructive interference has been standard among the input ports and control port. The factors used to evaluate the functionality of the nanoscale gate are the contrast ratio, modulation depth (MD), and insertion losses (ILs). In contrast, the optical power ratio at the output port, known as the transmission value ($T$ value), has been measured and used to distinguish between logic 1 (ON-state) and logic 0 (OFF-state). The transmission threshold value in this article was 25%, and the wavelength range considered to display the result was from 1000 to 2000 nm. The three-input hybrid OR gate occupied a size of ${500}\;{\rm nm} \times {400}\;{\rm nm}$ with transmission amplification results from the best ${T}$ value of 216.5 % with 98.85% as a MD. In comparison, the four-input OR gate comes with a size of ${600}\;{\rm nm} \times {400}\;{\rm nm}$ at the best ${T}$ value of 301.5%, supported by a 99.33% as the MD. The IL values for the three-input and four-input designs are ${-}{4.07}$ and ${-}{5.4}\;{\rm dB}$, respectively. The system resonance wavelength is 1310 nm.
