Abstract By exploiting the phenomena of optical switching, different logic functions for all-optical digital signal processing has been projected. This paper presents the application of optical switching to design of all-optical half adder and half subtractor by Mach-Zehnder interferometer. All-Optical half adder and half subtractor are designed with the optimized structure of 2 × 2 Mach-Zehnder interferometer switch by electro-optic effect in lithium niobate. Numerical simulations of the proposed structure have been conducted to verify the suitability of the designed structure using Opti-BPM software. The implementation of proposed structures is simulated in MATLAB software along with the mathematical description. It is interesting to analyze that the proposed structures are useful to generate combinational and sequential logic circuits in high-speed optical signal processing and switching network.

In this paper, an all-optical logic gate based on 2x2 (MMI) multimode interference coupler is theoretically designed and simulated using three-dimensional beam propagation method (3D-BPM) and effective index method (EIM) to analyze and evaluate the performance of the device. The proposed device is used to convert phase information of input optical signals to amplitude at the output ports of MMI. With this mechanism, the device can operates as a logical half adder. Simulation results show that the optical half adder archives with insertion loss and extinction ratio from ON to OFF logic–level below 0.7 dB and over 40 dB, respectively. Furthermore, wide bandwidth of 100nm is also an advantage of this devices. Therefore, it can be applied to all optical signal processing in next generation optical networks as well as in photonics integrated circuits.
