Popis: In recent years, a range of reconfigurable metamaterials controlled with thermal, electric, magnetic and optical signals have been developed for dynamically manipulating the intensity, phase and wave-front of electromagnetic radiation across the broad electromagnetic spectrum ranging from microwave to optics. Here for the first time, we demonstrate a reconfigurable metasurface performing exclusive OR (XOR) logical operation using two independent control electrical inputs and an optical read-out in the form of far-field Fano intensity states at terahertz wavelengths. At the same time, the near field resonant confinement enables a universal NAND logical operation. Further, by using a single electrical input control and an optical readout, a logical NOT operation is achieved at the far-field intensity states of the Fano resonance. The proposed reconfigurable microcantilever based Fano design that exhibits multiple logical operations can create a versatile platform for realization of programmable and randomly accessible metamaterials with enhanced electro-optical performance, multichannel data processing and encryption techniques for high speed wireless networks which are now being pushed towards terahertz wavelengths.
