Description

一种全光逻辑门 技术领域 本申请涉及集成电路技术领域, 特别涉及一种全光逻辑门。  TECHNICAL FIELD The present application relates to the field of integrated circuit technologies, and in particular, to an all-optical logic gate.
背景技术 Background technique
在数字电路中,逻辑门是数字电路中最基本的组成结构,有了各种逻辑门 便可以实现各种复杂的计算。 一般来说, 逻辑门包括与门、 或门、 非门、 与非 门、 或非门等多种。  In digital circuits, logic gates are the most basic components of digital circuits. With a variety of logic gates, complex calculations can be implemented. In general, logic gates include AND gates, OR gates, NOT gates, NAND gates, and NOR gates.
传统中的逻辑门都是以电计算来实现的,传递的是电信号。但是随着半导 体工艺水平的提高, 集成电路朝着集成度高、 功耗低以及速度快等方向发展, 目前为止, 集成电路依然遵循着摩尔定律的规律。 但是, 无论集成电路如何发 展, 电计算的速度不可能无限发展下去, 并且目前电计算的带宽依然无法满足 一些领域的要求, 集成电路的集成度也会在不久的将来达到极限。 因此, 需要 提供一种新的计算方式, 来支持计算速度和带宽的进一步提高。  Traditional logic gates are implemented by electrical calculations, which are electrical signals. However, with the improvement of the level of semiconductor technology, integrated circuits are developing toward high integration, low power consumption, and high speed. So far, integrated circuits still follow the law of Moore's Law. However, no matter how integrated circuits are developed, the speed of electrical computing cannot be infinitely developed, and the current bandwidth of electrical computing still cannot meet the requirements of some fields, and the integration of integrated circuits will reach its limit in the near future. Therefore, there is a need to provide a new way of computing to support further improvements in computing speed and bandwidth.
由于光在速度和宽度上都有优势, 因此, 光计算可以替代电计算以适应时 代的需要。  Since light has advantages in both speed and width, optical calculations can replace electrical calculations to accommodate the needs of the time.
目前某些学者提出了用光学导向逻辑制作逻辑门,但其大部分方案都不全 是由光信号来实现的, 实质上是电信号输入, 光信号输出的形式。 这种结构在 逻辑门的级联时, 需要在中间***一级光电转换,使得上一级输出的光信号转 换为电信号, 作为下一级的输入。 这样结构上比较复杂, 并且也不是全部由光 信号来实现。  At present, some scholars have proposed the use of optical steering logic to make logic gates, but most of them are not realized by optical signals, which are essentially the form of electrical signal input and optical signal output. In the cascading of logic gates, this structure needs to insert a first-level photoelectric conversion in the middle, so that the optical signal outputted from the upper stage is converted into an electrical signal as an input of the next stage. This is more complicated in structure and is not all realized by optical signals.
因此,本领域技术人员需要提供一种光逻辑门来代替现有技术中的电逻辑 门来提高计算的速度和带宽。  Accordingly, those skilled in the art need to provide an optical logic gate to replace the electrical logic gate of the prior art to increase the speed and bandwidth of the calculation.

具体实施方式 为了使本领域技术人员能够更好地理解和实施本发明的技术方案,下面首 先介绍本领域的几个基本概念。 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the technical solutions of the present invention, several basic concepts in the field are first introduced below.
参见图 1 , 该图为分束器示意图。  See Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the beam splitter.
分束器的输入端的光信号为 A, 则输出端分为两个光信号, 分别为 A1和 The optical signal at the input of the beam splitter is A, then the output is divided into two optical signals, A1 and
A2, A1和 A2的光强分别是 A的 1/2, A1和 A2的相位与 A相同。 The light intensities of A2, A1 and A2 are 1/2 of A, respectively, and the phases of A1 and A2 are the same as A.
参见图 2, 该图为合束器示意图。  See Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of the combiner.
顾名思义,合束器与图 1所示的分束器是作用正好相反的器件, 两个输入 的光信号分别为 B1和 B2, 则输出端的信号合成为一个信号 B, B为 B1和 B2 两个光信号相干叠加。  As the name suggests, the combiner and the beam splitter shown in Figure 1 are the opposite devices. The two input optical signals are B1 and B2, respectively, and the signal at the output is combined into a signal B, and B is B1 and B2. The optical signals are coherently superimposed.
参见图 3a和 3b, 该图为光控光开关示意图。  Referring to Figures 3a and 3b, the figure is a schematic diagram of a light-controlled optical switch.
光控光开关是光路传输中的控制开关器件, 包括三个端, 分别为输入端, 输出端和控制端, 当控制端的信号为有效信号时, 输入端的光信号传送到输出 端输出;当控制端的信号为无效信号时,输入端的光信号不会被传送到输出端。 光控光开关的控制端分为高有效和低有效, 图 3a所示的是高有效, 即控 制端的信号为 1时, 输入端的光信号被输出到输出端, 反之地有效, 指的是控 制端的信号是 0时, 输入端的光信号被输出到输出端, 这种如图 3b所示。 The light control optical switch is a control switching device in the optical path transmission, and includes three ends, which are an input end, an output end and a control end respectively. When the signal of the control end is a valid signal, the optical signal of the input end is transmitted to the output end of the output; when controlling When the signal at the end is an invalid signal, the optical signal at the input is not transmitted to the output. The control end of the optical control optical switch is divided into high effective and low effective. Figure 3a shows high efficiency, that is, when the signal of the control terminal is 1, the optical signal of the input end is output to the output terminal, and vice versa, it refers to the control. When the signal at the end is 0, the optical signal at the input is output to the output, as shown in Figure 3b.
下面介绍本发明所应用的原理。  The principles applied by the present invention are described below.
第一: 利用单波长单模激光器发出的光束, 有光强表示信号 1 , 无光强表 示信号 0。  First: A light beam emitted by a single-wavelength single-mode laser has a light intensity indicating a signal 1 and no light intensity indicating a signal 0.
第二: 假设输入的光信号的初始相位用箭头向上 ΐ表示, 由于光的波动传 输特性,输入的光信号的相位在前进方向上以波长为周期变化, 当前进的距离 为一个波长的整数倍时,相位保持不变,当前进的距离为半个波长的奇数倍时, 相位变为相反, 用箭头向下 i表示。 此处的相反指的是与初始相位相差 180 度, 可以理解的是也可以是相差 180度的奇数倍。  Second: It is assumed that the initial phase of the input optical signal is indicated by an arrow ΐ. Due to the wave propagation characteristic of the light, the phase of the input optical signal changes in the direction of the wavelength in the forward direction. The current distance is an integer multiple of one wavelength. When the phase remains unchanged and the current distance is an odd multiple of half a wavelength, the phase becomes opposite and is indicated by an arrow down i. The opposite here refers to a difference of 180 degrees from the initial phase, and it can be understood that it can also be an odd multiple of 180 degrees.
第三: 如果两束光的振幅相同, 且相位相反, 由于其波动性干涉相消, 叠 加后的光强为 0; 如果两束光的振幅相同, 当两束光的距离相差是波长的整数 倍时, 则出现相干增强, 振幅为单束光强的 2倍。 本申请实施例中利用光的合束器、分束器、光控光开关以及光的可叠加性、 光的干涉原理来实现逻辑运算, 并且利用调节光波导的长度 (即距离 )来调节 光波的相位, 从而满足计算的要求, 提供了多种全光逻辑门, 这些全光逻辑门 可以有利于硅基集成, 并且实现简单。 在功耗、 速度和面积上比电逻辑门均有 优势, 并且应用这些全光逻辑门可以直接搭建各种计算功能模块, 例如小的有 加法器, 大的有 CPU等。  Third: If the amplitudes of the two beams are the same and the phases are opposite, the superimposed light intensity is 0 due to the volatility interference cancellation; if the two beams have the same amplitude, when the distances of the two beams are different, the wavelength is an integer. When doubled, coherence enhancement occurs, and the amplitude is twice the intensity of a single beam. In the embodiment of the present application, the optical combiner, the beam splitter, the optically controlled optical switch, and the superposition of light and the interference principle of light are used to implement logic operations, and the length (ie, distance) of the optical waveguide is adjusted to adjust the light wave. The phase, to meet the computational requirements, provides a variety of all-optical logic gates that facilitate silicon-based integration and are simple to implement. It has advantages over electrical logic gates in power consumption, speed and area, and these all-optical logic gates can be used to directly build various computing function modules, such as small adders and large CPUs.

光控光开关 400的工作原理与电光开关类似, 但是不同的是, 光控光开关 400中的载流子的注入方式主要依赖于抽运光照射硅波导时产生光生载流子。 载流子浓度变化所导致的材料折射率以及吸收系数变化最终反映为微腔谐振 条件变化, 从而对特定波长的光实现开关。  The working principle of the optical control optical switch 400 is similar to that of the electro-optical switch, but the difference is that the carrier injection mode of the optical control optical switch 400 mainly depends on the generation of photo-generated carriers when the pumping light illuminates the silicon waveguide. The change in the refractive index and absorption coefficient of the material caused by the change in carrier concentration is ultimately reflected as a change in the microcavity resonance condition, thereby effecting switching of light of a specific wavelength.
