OPTICAL LOGIC NANODEVICE Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC G02F7/00 B82B1/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: nanodevice has two sources of a constant optical signal, an optical nanofibre Y-splitter, an optical nanofibre N-output splitter, an optical N-input nanofibre coupler, two extensible nanotubes, four input optical nanofibres, four optical nanofibres, an optical nanofibre Y-splitter, an optical four-input nanofibre coupler, an optical three-input nanofibre coupler. The input of the optical nanofibre Y-splitter and third input of the optical three-input nanofibre coupler are data inputs of the device and control inputs of the device are control inputs of the input optical nanofibres. The extensible nanotubes lie between the output of the optical nanofibre three-input coupler and the output of the optical N-input nanofibre coupler on the propagation axis of their output optical signals. The output of the device is the output of the optical nanofibre four-input coupler.

EFFECT: carrying out 16 logical operations of two variables, high speed operation and nano-sized design.
