Designing optical gates using metal–organic–metal transmission lines with multivalue and reconfigurable characteristics

Abstract. A reconfigurable structure is valuable for optical applications, and organic material such as proteins can be biased using external voltage for use in designing switchable gates. Our study introduces the structure of a cylindrical nanoparticle chain waveguide with nine elements having a metal–organic–metal structure. This special plasmonic transmission line was developed with an Ag/organic/Ag arrangement for an optical transmission line with switchable attributes over a SiO2 substrate. It has made possible to design different types of gates (Yes, OR, and AND) for a single-array element through biasing of the organic section at the chain waveguide elements at λ  =  550  nm. The various numbers of active or inactive elements allow us to achieve a transmission line with multivalue quality. In addition, we have developed a more complicated structure based on cross-junction structure as the XOR gate so we can extract various models of the gate by altering the bias network. Moreover, we have demanded “NOT” gates for designing the XOR gate, which is not possible to design directly. Therefore, the Yes gates in the bias network with control bits have been used to provide this characteristic and logical inverter.
