Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple plasmon switches are used to control energy propagation at different frequencies, then the precision of energy distribution control is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The plasmon gate is segmented into multiple independent plasmon switches (first plasmon switch and second plasmon switch), each operating at different plasmon frequencies. This segmentation allows precise control of energy propagation at specific frequencies while maintaining modular device architecture that manages complexity through functional decomposition.
2Adaptability or versatility
If plasmon switches are placed at different central locations along the energy path, then the versatility of signal response is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Each plasmon switch is positioned at a specific central location (first central location and second central location) along the plasmon guide, with each location optimized for responding to specific control signals at specific plasmon frequencies. This local quality approach enables versatile signal response while managing complexity through spatially distributed functional specialization.
