▎ 摘  要

In this paper, a novel type of all-optical logic device based on graphene surface plasmon polaritons (GSP) is proposed. By utilizing linear interference between the GSP waves propagating in the different channels, this new structure can realize six different basic logic gates including OR, XOR, NOT, AND, NOR, and NAND. The state of "ON/OFF'' of each input channel can be well controlled by tuning the optical conductivity of graphene sheets, which can be further controlled by changing the external gate voltage. This type of logic gate is compact in geometrical sizes and is a potential block in the integration of nanophotonic devices. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
