Abstract
This paper includes optical Boolean function generator unit. It can generate multiple logical operations (16 operations). The device is proposed using electro-optic effect inside lithium niobate-based Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZIs). The MZI structures have powerful capability to switching an optical input signal to a desired output port. The paper constitutes mathematical description of the device and thereafter simulation using MATLAB. The study is verified using beam propagation method.
