In the examples provided herein, an optical logic gate includes multiple couplers, where no more than two types of couplers are used in the optical logic gate, and further wherein the two types of couplers consist of: a 3-dB coupler and a weak coupler with a given transmission-to-reflection ratio. The optical logic gate also includes a first resonator, wherein the first resonator comprises a photonic crystal resonator or a nonlinear ring resonator, wherein in operation, the first resonator has a dedicated continuous wave input to bias a complex amplitude of a total field input to the first resonator such that the total field input is either above or below a nonlinear switching threshold of the first resonator, where the optical logic gate is an integrated photonic circuit.
A method of tuning an integrated photonic circuit based upon a netlist for the integrated photonic circuit, wherein the integrated photonic circuit has multiple optical logic gates, each optical logic gate includes one nonlinear ring resonator, and the multiple optical logic gates have on-chip inputs and off-chip inputs, the method comprising:
