Abstract

The effective optical switching property of Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) utilizing optical Kerr effect has been precisely reported suitably assisted with an analytical approach in this paper. MZI plays the role of the fundamental building block in the designing of intricate combinational circuit by employing Kerr effect. This paper constitutes ultra-compact design of one-bit magnitude comparator along with its mathematical analysis. The analysis of device is justified through MATLAB and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method.
