Implementation of reversible Peres gate using electro-optic effect inside lithium-niobate based Mach-Zehnder interferometers

Power dissipation is an important consideration in digital design. Reversible logic is an unconventional form of computing in which the computational process is bijective and can efficiently reduce power dissipation problem. Peres gate is a basic reversible logic gate used in various reversible circuit. In this paper, design of Peres gate using electro-optic effect inside lithium-niobate based Mach-Zehnder interferometer is proposed. The various applications of Peres gate such as full-adder circuit and flip-flop is also explained. A theoretical description along with mathematical formulation of device is elaborated. The device is analyzed through Beam propagation method and MATLAB simulations.
