Design of optical reconfigurable balanced ternary arithmetic logic unit using MEMS based design

A new and novel design of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) based optical reconfigurable balanced ternary arithmetic logic unit (radix=3) has been proposed and described in this paper. We can get any logical and arithmetical function from the proposed design without changing the circuit design. Here three logical states have been considered as three wavelengths of light. Binary coded balance ternary digit is used to control micro-mirror. Numerical simulation has been done to get the performance of the circuit.
