Popis: Background: Utilizing mirror movement precisely, one can undoubtedly make a diverse way for light. The movable mirror can be placed in the path of an optical tree net to perform different operations. Objective: In this paper, we have performed different logic, arithmetic, and one-bit data comparison operations using mechanical movable mirrors. Methods: Using two controls with three movable mirrors and two fixed mirrors, we can perform four basic logic operations. Then using these four basic operations, we can design sixteen different logic operations, a half adder, and one-bit data comparison operations. Results: Because of an adaptable mirror arranging and course component, expansion incidents can be decreased to an incredibly low level. The necessary voltage is under 0.5 V. The power utilization is about 3.5 mW for an exchanging component. Conclusions: Moreover, this plan is extremely straightforward in a sense and designed using linear optical materials. The principle of operation of this circuit is based on the reflection of light from MEMS-based optical switches.
