LOGIC GATE BASED ON ONE-DIMENSIONAL PHOTONIC CRYSTAL DOPED WITH QUANTUM DOTS
We have analyzed the prospects for the use of quantum dots as elements of a dense resonant medium that possess large transition dipole moments. Based on experimental and theoretical data known from literature, the possibility to create one-dimensional photonic crystals containing quantum dots is examined and critical parameters of such a system are considered. Using a numerical solution to the generalized Maxwell-Bloch equations, it is shown that the interaction of coherent light pulses with the photonic structure doped with quantum dots allows the realization of optical logic operations whose type depends on spectral properties of the crystal.
