Abstract: This paper presents a new design of optical NOR and XNOR logic gates using a two-dimensional-hexagonal photonic crystal (2D-HPhC) that allows for both Transverse Electric (TE) and Transverse Magnetic (TM) polarization modes. The structure is very small in size and has a low delay time. The design includes three inputs (A, B, C) and one output (Q) waveguide, with the NOR gate having a delay period of 0.75 ps and the XNOR gate having a delay period of 0.9 ps. The contrast ratio between the input and output for both gates is 7-8 dB. The XNOR gate has an optimum transmission signal rate of T = 96%. The purpose of the structure is to use a reference input to create the fundamental logic gates NOR and XNOR by adjusting the signal phase angle.
