Implementation method and device for full-adder and full-subtractor

Abstract

The invention discloses an implementation method and an implementation device for a full-adder and a full-subtractor. According to the method, three input optical signals are processed by utilizing third-order nonlinear effects in nonlinear waveguides to obtain the output of the full-adder and the full-subtractor. The device comprises first to sixth light wavelength division multiplexers, first to third nonlinear waveguides, first to third polarization controllers, a polarization analyzer, a first light wavelength division multiplexer and a second light wavelength division multiplexer. Compared with other devices for implementing an all-optical full-adder and an all-optical full-subtractor, the device processes three paths of input optical signals by utilizing three nonlinear waveguides to realize the logic operation of full-addition and full-subtraction. Ultra-quick response nonlinear effects are adopted, and the method and the device are applied to the processing and computation of high-speed optical signals. The method and the device are easy to implement, and can work under a high-speed condition. Logic information carried by two wavelengths is converted into a wavelength conversion process of a single wavelength, so that the quality of the signals can be recovered, the extinction ratio of output signals of the full-adder and the full-subtractor can be increased, and the application of the full-adder and the full-subtractor to an optical communication system is facilitated.
