Abstract
We propose an all-optical logic device made of a bent tapered Y-junction wa veguide with a Kerr-type nonlinear interface. It could provide an AND gate, OR gate, and exclusive-OR (XOR) gate. We could obtain different transmissi on results by adjusting the bending angle. The numerical simulation results show that the device functions as AND, OR, and XOR gates.
