Silicon Photonics Based Digital Half-Adder Using Micro-ring Resonator Structures

This paper describes the design of the model of the digital half-adder based on silicon photonics using the micro-ring resonator (MRR) structures. Silicon photonics is a promising field of study that could replace or modify modern electronics. The development of this field leads to the discovery of new solutions for existing electronic circuits. One of the examples is a digital half-adder that is proposed to be designed using MRR structures. In this work, we designed a half-adder based on MRR structures with two inputs and two outputs. The static response of the digital circuit was also investigated. Finally, the performance of the model was demonstrated under different bitrates 100, 400, 700 and 1000 kbps.
