A complete architecture of integrated photonic circuits based on AND and NOT logic gates of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities

arXiv:1302.1935 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.87.195305

Abstract

In this letter we introduce a complete photonic logic gate architecture, making use of the non-linear and spintronic properties of exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities. This hybrid light-matter design is highly compact and offers the advantages expected of photonic circuits including: no distance-dependent loss or signal gradation; electrical isolation and immunity to electromagnetic interference; reduced error-checking overhead; and direct coupling to external light, useful for fibre optic communication.
