Abstract

The growth of transmission rates in optical fibers can increase the demand for devices that perform network node processing. Usually, such devices achieve complex optical signal processing through high non-linearity effects and optoelectronic devices. In this work, we present the numerical acquisition of a configurable multi-function logic gate in which the OR and AND gates can be enabled based on the logic values entered in a selector. Our device consists of a single piece of three-core PCF, with linear pulse propagation, and without the need for any other mechanisms. This result presents evidence that information processing within functional fibers is possible and might be achieved using only fiber design.
