An improved polarization-encoded logic algebra (PLA) used for the design of an optical logic gate for a 2D data array: theory

Abstract

An improved polarization-encoded logic algebra (PLA) used to design polarization-encoded logic gate for a 2D data array is presented. The PLA here is built from 7 operators. Applications of the PLA to the design of a programmable single-operand multifunction logic gate, the expectancy design of two-operand multiplicative logic gates, the design of a programmable two-operand multifunction logic gate are presented. Further, the PLA is used to design three-operand logic gates.
