Abstract

The design of all-optical 2 × 2 Terahertz Optical Asymmetric Demultiplexer (TOAD) based interferometric switch is proposed and described in this manuscript. Numerical simulation has been done to achieve the performance of the switch. Using this 2 × 2 TOAD based switch, cross-bar network architecture is designed. A reconfigurable logic unit is also proposed in this manuscript, which can perform 16-Boolean logical operations.

► All-optical 2 × 2 switch using Terahertz Optical Asymmetric Demultiplexer is proposed. ► Numerical simulation confirms feasibility of scheme. ► Cross-bar architecture using this 2 × 2 switch is designed. ► Also reconfigurable logic unit is designed using cross-bar network architecture. ► This logic unit can perform 16-Boolean logical operations.
