We report the simultaneous implementation of the XOR and XNOR operations at two ports of a directed logic circuit based on two cascaded microring resonators (MRRs), which are both modulated through thermo-optic effect. Two electrical modulating signals applied to the MRRs represent the two operands of each logic operation. Simultaneous bitwise XOR and XNOR operations at 10 kbit/s are demonstrated in two different operating modes. We show that such a circuit can be readily realized using the plasma dispersion effect or the electric field effects, indicating its potential for high-speed operation. We further employ the scattering matrix method to analyze the spectral characteristics of the fabricated circuit, which can be regarded as a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) in whole. The two MRRs in the circuit act as wavelength-dependent splitting and combining units of the MZI. The degradation of the spectra observed in the experiment is found to be related to the length difference between the MZI's two arms. The evolution of the spectra with this length difference is presented.

The emergence of reconfigurable field effect transistors has introduced a more efficient method for realizing reconfigurable circuits, significantly lowering hardware overhead and enhancing versatility. However, these devices often suffer from asymmetric transfer curves, impacting logic gate performance and reliability. This work investigates the use of the van der Waals junction field effect transistor (JFET) for reconfigurable circuit applications.

Mechanical computing promises to integrate semiconductor-based digital logic in several applications, but it needs straightforward programmable devices for changing computing rules in situ. A methodology based on strain-governed, bistable soft shells that process digital information by interchanging their internal/external surfaces is proposed. This bistable behavior, explained via model-based design, safeguards robustness by working only once for each input pulse.

Optical logic operation is promising for ultrafast information processing and optical computing due to the high computation speed and low power consumption. However, conventional optical logic devices require either a complex structure and circuit design or a constant voltage supply, which impedes the development of high-density integrated circuits. Here, all-optical logic devices are designed using a self-powered polarization-sensitive photodiode of the GeSe homojunction, which is attributed to an anisotropic band structure and built-in electric field.
