Simulation of universal optical logic gates under energy sharing collisions of Manakov solitons and fulfillment of practical optical logic criteria

Abstract

The universal optical logic gates, namely NAND and NOR gates, have been theoretically simulated by employing the energy sharing collision of bright optical solitons in the Manakov system, governing pulse propagation in a highly birefringent fiber. Further, we also realize the two input optical logic gates such as AND, OR, XOR, XNOR for completeness of our scheme. Interestingly, our idea behind the simulation naturally satisfies all the criteria for practical optical logic which in turn displays the strength and versatility of our theoretical simulation of universal optical logic gates. Hence, our approach paves the way for the experimentalists to create a new avenue in this direction if the energy sharing collisions of Manakov solitons are experimentally realized in the future.
