OPTICAL MULTIFUNCTIONAL LOGIC NANOELEMENT Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G02F7/00 B82Y20/00 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in optical information processing devices when designing optical nanocomputers and transceiving nanodevices. The device has a constant optical signal source, two optical nanofibre couplers, two telescopic nanotubes, two output optical nanofibres, an optical nanofibre three-output splitter and an optical nanofibre Y-splitter.

EFFECT: possibility of performing Boolean operations with coherent as well as incoherent optical signals with high speed, potentially possible for optical circuits with a nanodesign.
