“…To overcome this limitation, in this paper, authors have demonstrated the design for an optical counter based on electro-optic (EO) effect of LiNbO 3 based Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). LiNbO 3 based MZI is characterized by the attractive features of compact size, thermal stability (Wooten et al 2000), re-configurability (Jin et al 2014), integration potential (Wooten et al 2000), low latency and low power consumption (Singh et al 2012;Kumar et al 2015b). Due to which many researchers have shown their keen interest and designed various combinational and sequential circuits using MZIs (Kumar et al , 2014a(Kumar et al , b, 2015aRaghuwanshi et al 2013Raghuwanshi et al , 2014.…”
