Design and Performance Analysis of MZI Based 2 × 2 Reversible XOR Logic Gate

Abstract

In this paper firstly the model of 2 × 2 reversible logic XOR gate is proposed after that the performance of proposed designed is evaluated. With the increasing flow of information, the data rate is also increasing rapidly. It increases the heat dissipation in the circuit due to loss of data information. Usually data rate is very high in the electronic processor, it dissipate more heat. Hence this model will be very helpful for solving this problem. Evaluated performance of this model is based on the value of quality factor and extinction ratio. The quality factor and extinction ratio is evaluated under different condition. The average extinction ratio of the design is 19.58dB and the average Quality factor is 53.03dB. The optical cost of the proposed circuit is 1.
