“…The low and high levels of EPS represent logic ‘0’ and ‘1’ in electrical domain, respectively; the low and high levels of the optical power at the output port represent logic ‘0’ and ‘1’ in optical domain, respectively. As mentioned in our previous work 42 , the logic circuit of Fig. 2(a) can perform the AND operation of N operands when all MRRs work in the block / pass mode.…”

“…Compared to most of electro-optic directed logic circuits, reconfigurable electro-optic directed logic circuit can perform any combinatorial logic operation, which can be applied in many occasions such as optical computing, packet routing, etc. For proof of concept, we have successfully demonstrated a reconfigurable electro-optic directed logic circuit which can perform any combinatorial logic operation with four-operand at the operation speed of 10 kbps based on the silicon thermo-optic effect in our previous work 42 . However, with the growing demand of high speed optical computing, the drawback of the device in ref.…”

We experimentally demonstrate a reconfigurable electro-optic directed logic circuit which can perform any combinatorial logic operation using cascaded carrier-injection micro-ring resonators (MRRs), and the logic circuit is fabricated on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate with the standard commercial Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication process. PIN diodes embedded around MRRs are employed to achieve the carrier injection modulation. The operands are represented by electrical signals, which are applied to the corresponding MRRs to control their switching states. The operation result is directed to the output port in the form of light. For proof of principle, several logic operations of three-operand with the operation speed of 100 Mbps are demonstrated successfully.

“…With such configuration, a two-input logic function with single wavelength input is implemented with a speed of 270 MHz. Here, the speed is limited by the switch's carrier injection In 2016, a new structure to perform reconfigurable logic computing was proposed and demonstrated [97], as shown in Fig. 12a.…”

Optical directed logic (DL) is a novel logic operation scheme that employs electrical signals as operands to control the working states of optical switches to perform the logic functions. This review first provides an overview of the concept and working principle of DL. The developing trends of DL computing are then discussed in detail, including the fundamental optical DL gates, combinational optical DL operations, reconfigurable logic computing, low power optical logic computing, and programmable photonic network. The concluding remarks provide an outlook on the DL future development and its impacts in optical computing. Graphical Abstract

“…The array of logic blocks are wired up by reconfigurable interconnects, allowing the chip to be programmed with either VHDL or Verilog HDL. Similarly, in the design of photonic FPGA (pFPGA), the reconfigurable photonic logic blocks (photonic configurable logic block (pCLB)) are a sea of universal photonic gates (UPGs) that can be used to perform the required logical operations in photonic way [1–7 ]. In photonics,

In this Letter, the authors designed a photonic configurable logic block (pCLB) with 1×1 Mach–Zehnder modulator as a universal photonic gate (UPG) using electro‐optic mechanism. The UPG is capable of performing all the logical operations with the help of FPGA as a configuration controller. The functionality and its suitability is verified by forming a pCLB of ten UPGs, which finds applications in digital photonics. For the design of pCLB, traditional electronic design automation tools are used. The pCLB provides features namely scalability and modular approach, for the reconfigurable digital photonic integrated circuits. The photonic gate designed using a two‐dimensional finite difference time domain approach shows a crosstalk‐free operation with a negligible transmission loss of 0.18 dB and flexible switching control compared to the existing 2×2 MZI‐based photonic gate.
