In this paper, a two-dimensional structure based on photonic crystal for adding three input bits is proposed. The dielectric rods used in this work are made of chalcogenide with a dielectric constant of 9.61. The lattice constant of the structure is 510 nm and the radius of the fundamental rods is 0...
