    摘要: An optical logic element is disclosed which performs an XOR operation through utilization of the high-speed property of light. On each branched waveguide of a Mach-Zehnder interference type optical waveguide there is provided a phase modulating element whose refractive index undergoes a change when it is irradiated by light. The interference type optical waveguide is adapted to provide different optical output levels when the refractive index changes of the phase modulating elements are both zero or a predetermined value and when they differ from each other. Thus, the optical logic element is capable of performing the XOR or XNOR operation at an ultrahigh speed.

    摘要: A method for manufacturing diffraction grating, in which after forming, on a substrate, one of a negative type photoresist film (an N film) and a positive type photoresist film (a P film) to cover a first region A and the other of the negative type photoresist film and the positive type photoresist film, or the latter film on the former one to cover a second region B, the first region and the second region are subjected to two-beam interference exposure, thereby forming a diffraction grating in which corrugations in the first region and the second region are reverse in phase to each other, through utilization of characteristics of the negative type photoresist film and the positive type photoresist film. Another feature of the present invention resides in that after forming, on a substrate, a structure in which a negative type photoresist film (an N film) is formed to cover only a first region A and the negative type photoresist film is formed on a positive type photoresist film (a P film) to cover a second region B, the first region and the second region of the substrate are subjected to two-beam interference exposure, thereby forming a diffraction grating in which corrugations in the first region and the second region are reverse in phase to each other, through utilization of characteristics of the negative type photoresist film and the positive type photoresist film.
