Abstract
The continuous quest for reversible computation that could be extensively used in applications such as digital signal processing, quantum computing, quantum-dot cellular automata, and nanotechnology has recently discovered its optical implementation as light tenders high-speed computing with the slightest information loss. The electro-optic effect of a lithium-niobate-basedMach-Zehnder interferometer is explored to configure a 4 x 4 modified Fredkin gate, capable of furnishing as many as 16 logical combinations, and thus showing potential of curbing the area overhead. The optical design is carried out using the beam propagation method. We have also performed the mathematical modeling and analyzed the results in MATLAB.
