Abstract

In this paper, all-optical XOR and NAND logic gates based on gold disk-shaped nanoparticles have been proposed. The proposed structure consists of a non-periodic array of disk-shaped nanoparticles that are placed on SiO2 substrate. The gates function is based on the constructive and destructive interferences between the input signals. For the NAND gate the phase difference between the input signals has been used to create a destructive interference. The most advantages of these structures are subwavelength dimensions and high contrast ratio of about 26dB and 24dB for the XOR and NAND logic gates, respectively.
