Abstract
The conventional logic circuits dissipate energy into the environment due to the loss of information; hence these are termed irreversible logic circuits. The reversible logic (RL) circuits are capable of minimizing the power dissemination, quantum cost, and garbage outputs. The RL circuits based on all-optical technology have been adopted by many researchers in recent. The Fredkin gate is a significant RL gate. A modified Fredkin gate (MFG) made of a silicon all-optical microring resonator is realized in MATLAB. The MFG is capable of designing 16-Boolean functions with very small complexity. The figure of merit of the proposed MFG is achieved through numerical simulation. The parameters are selected from the determined specifications, and this could provide a practicable implementation of the proposed design.
