Embodiment
Bleaching effect based on light absorption of the present invention realizes the method for all-optical logic and computing, and the bleaching effect based on light absorption realizes all-optical logic and computing.So-called " bleaching " effect, also claiming coherent light " hole burning " effect, is a kind of nonlinear optical effect, when irradiating the direct band-gap semicondictor crystal such as gallium arsenide when femtosecond laser, can in the corresponding energy state instantaneously a large amount of valence-band electrons being energized into conduction band.Because the hot carrier energy state relaxation time is greatly about hundred femtosecond magnitudes, if so there is another bundle femtosecond laser to be also radiated at this place at this moment, the photoproduction thermoelectron produced due to front beam of laser has also had little time relaxation, still occupy the corresponding energy state in conduction band in a large number, hinder valence-band electrons and continue absorb photons upwards transition, therefore the second bundle laser is absorbed hardly, directly transmit from wafer, this phenomenon is referred to as to act on " bleaching " of light absorption, determined by Pauli exclusion principle.
The implementation process of the inventive method is, as shown in Figure 1, a semiconductor crystal plate is set before receiver, the light beam A of incidence and light beam B are irradiated on semiconductor crystal as the input signal of light logic and computing, using the transmitted light C that transmits at semiconductor crystal opposite side as output signal, its light intensity can be received device detection and receive
When light beam A that and if only and if light beam B are all radiated at the same area of semiconductor crystal plate, due to " bleaching " effect, in light beam B, most of photon can not be absorbed by semiconductor crystal, therefore transmitted light C be greater than Boolean logic Intensity threshold (namely artificial regulation logic " very ", light intensity separatrix between logic "false"), its effect is equivalent to 1 & 1=1, and the logical signal of output is "True";
When without any incident beam, or when only having a branch of incident beam, then transmitted light C is less than Intensity threshold, its effect is equivalent to 1 & 0=0 or 0 & 1=0 or 0 & 0=0, namely the logical signal exported is "false", in a word, the all-optical logic in various situation and operation relation (A & B=C) as shown in table 1 below
Table 1 light beam A, logical relation table between light beam B and transmitted light C
Light beam A Light beam B Transmitted light C
0 (unglazed) 0 (unglazed) 0 (lower than Intensity threshold)
0 (unglazed) 1 (having light) 0 (lower than Intensity threshold)
1 (having light) 0 (unglazed) 0 (lower than Intensity threshold)
1 (having light) 1 (having light) 1 (higher than Intensity threshold)
Technology essential factor in the inventive method also comprises:
1) launching spot of light beam B should be less than the launching spot of light beam A, and light beam B need through the delay process of 100 ~ 1000fs, to ensure that light beam A has caused bleaching effect at incident area, the sequential relationship of light beam A and light beam B as shown in Figure 2, in fig. 2, t drepresent light beam B and should lag behind the time delay that light beam A incides semiconductor crystal, the response time needed for photoelectric effect, its numerical value is hundred femtosecond magnitudes, depends primarily on this time delay in the inventive method with the execution speed of logical operation.
2) incident light beam A is identical with the wavelength of light beam B, and the Intrinsic Gettering notch that wavelength should be less than semiconductor crystal is long, to ensure Intrinsic Gettering.
3) incident light beam A and the pulsewidth (full width at half maximum) of light beam B are femtosecond magnitude; Ensure that the angle between light beam A and light beam B is less than 20 ° to reduce reflection to greatest extent, ideally light beam A and light beam B vertical incidence semiconductor crystal simultaneously.
4) semiconductor crystalline material should select direct band-gap semicondictor crystal, and the short material of preferred carrier lifetime is to improve repeated work frequency, and the one of gallium arsenide, indium phosphide, indium gallium arsenic, gallium nitride, gallium aluminium arsenic specifically selected by the material of semiconductor crystal.
5) when only there being a branch of incident light, the operation result after "AND" logic should be logic "false", and the light intensity namely through semiconductor lamella must lower than the Intensity threshold of Boolean logic.Consider thickness D, the optical absorption depth d of semiconductor lamella, incident light light intensity I 0and pass is between transmitted light light intensity I: I=I 0exp (-D/d), namely the theoretical value of transmissivity is exp (-D/d), and therefore semiconductor film layer thickness D should be 2 ~ 4 times of optical absorption depth d, and the Intensity threshold of Boolean logic should be set as I 01.2 ~ 3 times of exp (-D/d).(" semiconductor lamella " is here " semiconductor crystal ")
6) direct band-gap semicondictor crystal generally has satellite energy valley (also claiming and the minor energy valley of main energy valley non-equivalence), if the energy level difference of itself and main energy valley is E k, then the photon energy of incident laser (light beam A and light beam B) should be greater than semiconductor energy gap E gbut be less than E g+ E k, to avoid due to " transferred electron effect ", thermoelectron is just shifted rapidly at the beginning of initial distribution to satellite energy valley.
7) to determine the wavelength of two-way input beam signal identical for the principle of work of the inventive method, therefore the inventive method has the possibility of direct cascade for door, consider that light intensity can be lost step by step, want the number improving direct cascade, light transmission when transmitted light C should be made to be logic "True" is large as much as possible, concrete methods of realizing is that working environment is set to cryogenic conditions, cryogenic temperature is less than 50K, effectively can reduce the phon scattering probability in semiconductor crystal, thus enhancing the present invention is applied to " bleaching " effect with light absorption in door.
8) receiver selects ultrafast PIN photodiode or other corresponding pick-up unit, also can select the posterior all-optical logic gates of cascade, and receiver can realize single-chip integration with above-mentioned AND gate structure.
9) method realizing logic sum gate based on above-mentioned light beam is: incident light beam A and the via hole of light beam B by etching on above-mentioned direct band-gap semicondictor crystal, direct irradiation on the receiver, can realize logical OR computing.Therefore, this OR-gate is easy to realize highly integrated with AND gate of the present invention.

Semiconductor crystal adopts involuntary doping semi-insulation gallium arsenide, and dislocation desity (EPD) is less than 5 × 10 4cm -2, crystal orientation is (100) ± 0.5 °, and carrier lifetime is less than 10ns.Consider that the absorption degree of depth d of gallium arsenide to 800nm wavelength laser is about 10 μm, so first carry out machinery, chemical reduction processing to gallium arsenide, then local etching gallium arsenide thickness D to 40 μm.
As D=4d and when only having incident beam A or beam B irradiates, transmissivity is 1.83% in theory, the Intensity threshold choosing Boolean logic is 5% of incident intensity.Receiver adopts THORLABS DET210 high speed PIN photodiode, and the transmitted light C utilizing inner photoeffect to receive, changes into visible electric impulse signal on digital storage oscilloscope.
When gallium arsenide working environment is low temperature 15K, photocurrent amplitude corresponding to transmitted light pulse is about 40% ~ 70% of incident light pulse photocurrent amplitude, much larger than the Intensity threshold of Boolean logic.
The photobleaching effect that method of the present invention produces when irradiating direct band-gap semicondictor by femtosecond laser realizes all-optical logic AND operation, its input signal is two bundle femto-second laser pulses (intensity signal represents 0 and 1 of Boolean calculation), after the bleaching effect modulation of direct band-gap semicondictor light absorption under low temperature environment, the light intensity of transmitted light is output signal.Owing to not relying on the mechanism such as resonance, polarization, interference, phase-modulation, photonic crystal or fiber nonlinear effect, so advantage of the present invention to be structure simple, system stability, be convenient to integrated, can on semiconductor crystal, adopt ic manufacturing process to realize.
