Abstract :
A directed logic architecture consisting of two silicon microring resonators which can perform XOR operation is proposed. Two electrical modulating signals applied to the microring resonators represent the operands of the logical operation. Bitwise XOR operation at 20 kbit/s is demonstrated.
