Abstract :
We propose a AND logic gate based on photonic crystal with cylindrical silicon structure. It takes advantages of the device sizes are drastically reduced to a scale of a few tens of micrometers and the easy-to-implement logic function. Furthermore, the multi-input AND gate can apply to all-optical Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) devices of photon computer in the future.
