摘要 |
A logic gate comprises a photonic or polaritonic band gap medium and a plurality of nano particles, atoms or artificial atoms are disposed in the band gap medium. Two coupled electromagnetic pulses are propagated within the medium and produce two output pulses. The output pulses are detected or sensed and a third external electronic field controls the relative velocities of the two output pulses. A method for producing a time delay of an electromagnetic pulse is also disclosed. |
