▎ 摘 要
In this study, simple basic plasmonic logic gates of XOR, OR, and NOT based on graphene nano-ribbon resonators coupled to properly designed arrangements of nano-waveguides, as input and output logic ports, are demonstrated. The operation of the structures as frequency selective components is based on the propagation of edge modes in nano-waveguides and coupling to nano-ribbon resonators located in appropriate locations. The gates performance is investigated through analytic approaches and verified numerically using the finite difference time domain method. Typical extinction ratio of about 8 dB between ON and OFF logic states has been attained. According to the fantastic feature of voltage-dependent chemical potential of graphene conductivity, the characteristics of the structures can be actively manipulated. These sub-wavelength plasmonic components can be employed extensively in terahertz demanded applications.
