Summary: | Logical operations are implemented using polarization-based logic level representation. An input polarized beam is split into a first beam and a second beam. The first beam is polarized at a first relative polarization angle and the second beam is polarized at a second relative polarization angle. The ratio of the amplitudes of two perpendicular polarization components of the input polarized beam is one or nearly one and the difference between the first relative polarization angle and the second relative polarization angle is 180 degrees or nearly 180 degrees. The relative polarization angle of the input polarized beam equals or nearly equals either the first relative polarization angle or the second relative polarization angle. |
