Abstract

We recently developed and patented the polarization optical processor (POP) and its architecture. It can be used to implement all types of digital binary devices, current and future. Binary adders are used to add binary numbers, as their names suggest. In this paper, we present the design of half and full optical binary adders using the POP architecture. A clear, simple, and easy-to-follow step-by-step design procedure is provided along with an explanation of the operation of each optical adder as a simulated bullet-train moving at the speed of light on an input-controlled preconfigured railroad system, which simplifies the understanding of the system operation.
