Structure-based Optical Logics Without Using Transistors

Jonghyeon Lee, Taewon Kang

TL;DR

The paper addresses heat and aging limits in transistor-based NOT logic by proposing a structure-based computer that encodes logic in wiring structure using inverted signal pairs. It develops a 3-pin formalism with NOT implemented by a simple twist, derives AND/OR operations with paired signals, and validates the concept via a DFS-based simulation that also informs an optical-structure proposal. The contributions include a concrete 3-pin NOT/AND/OR framework, a DFS verification method yielding XOR/XNOR behavior, and an optical window-operator design with programmable gates and a black-body gate. The work suggests a path to dramatically reduce heat and power in high-performance computing, with potential impact on AI workloads and GPU-accelerated tasks by enabling structure-based or optical computation alternatives.

Abstract

The commercialization of transistors capable of both switching and amplification in 1960 resulted in the development of second-generation computers, which resulted in the miniaturization and lightening while accelerating the reduction and development of production costs. However, the self-resistance and the resistance used in conjunction with semiconductors, which are the basic principles of computers, generate a lot of heat, which results in semiconductor obsolescence, and limits the computation speed (clock rate). In implementing logic operation, this paper proposes the concept of Structure-based Computer which can implement NOT gate made of semiconductor transistor only by Structure-based twist of cable without resistance. In Structure-based computer, the theory of 'inverse signal pair' of digital signals was introduced so that it could operate in a different way than semiconductor-based transistors. In this paper, we propose a new hardware called Structure-based computer that can solve various problems in semiconductor computers only with the wiring structure of the conductor itself, not with the silicon-based semiconductor. Furthermore, we propose a deep-priority exploration-based simulation method that can easily implement and test complex Structure-based computer circuits. Furthermore, this paper suggests a mechanism to implement optical computers currently under development and research based on structures rather than devices.
