The load voltage at the controlled terminal is adjusted to be in a mode one state (corresponding to a logic binary number of "0"), and an exclusive-or gate logic operation with a logic contrast of 18dB is realized.

The signal light is a terahertz light wave with the wavelength of 40 mu m.

Regulating and controlling the load voltage of the graphene nanowires at the input end, so that when the Fermi levels of the two graphene nanowires at the input end are both 0.54eV, signal light is coupled into the rectangular resonant cavity through the graphene nanowires at the input end and destructive interference occurs in the resonant cavity, the electromagnetic effect causes the absorption of the medium on the signal light to reach a maximum value, and the transmissivity of the signal light reaches a low value at the moment; regulating and controlling the load voltage of the graphene nanowires at two ends of the input end, so that when the Fermi level of one graphene nanowire at the input end is 0.54e V and the Fermi level of the other graphene nanowire is 0eV, signal light is coupled into the rectangular resonant cavity from the graphene nanowire at the input end, and the energy of the signal light is coupled to the graphene nanowire at the output end through the rectangular resonant cavity under the condition of meeting the resonance condition of light, wherein the signal light has a larger transmittance value; the load voltage of the input end graphene nanowires is regulated and controlled, so that when the Fermi energy levels of the two graphene nanowires at the input end are both 0eV, the resonance condition is not met, the generation condition of destructive interference phenomenon is not met, most of light energy is localized in the rectangular resonant cavity, only a small part of light energy is coupled to the output end, and the transmissivity of signal light is low at the moment.

The Fermi level of the graphene nanowire at the input end can be changed by regulating and controlling the load voltage of the graphene nanowire. When the fermi level of the input end graphene nanowire is 0.54eV, the corresponding input binary high state is a logic state "1"; when the fermi level of the input end graphene nanoribbon is 0eV, the corresponding input binary low state is a logic state "0".

Determining the input binary state of the input end according to the sequence, wherein when the input binary state of the input end is a logic state '00', the resonance condition is not met, and the generation condition of destructive interference phenomenon is not met, most of light energy is localized in the rectangular resonant cavity, only a small part of light energy is coupled to the output end, which means that the transmissivity of the signal light detected on the lower surface of the device is low, and the transmissivity of the target signal light is 0.015; when the binary input state of the input end is a logic state '11', signal light is coupled into the rectangular resonant cavity from the graphene nanowire at the input end and destructive interference occurs in the resonant cavity, the electromagnetic effect causes that the absorption of target signal light by the medium reaches a maximum value, only a small part of light energy is coupled to the output end, which means that the transmissivity of the signal light detected on the lower surface of the device reaches a low value, and the transmissivity of the target signal light is 0.093; when the input binary state of the input end is a logic state of '01' or '10', the target signal light is coupled into the rectangular resonant cavity from the graphene nanoribbon at the input end, under the condition that the resonance condition of the light is met, the energy of the signal light is coupled to the graphene nanoribbon at the output end through the rectangular resonant cavity, the target signal light can be detected to have a larger transmittance value on the lower surface of the device, and the transmittance of the signal light is 0.962 or 0.780.

Here, the transmittance of the signal light is a critical point at a value of 0.1. That is, when the transmittance of the target signal light is detected to be lower than 0.1, the output binary low state of the output terminal is logic state "0"; on the contrary, if the binary state is higher than 0.1, the binary state of the output at the output end is logic state "1". It can be known that when the logic state of the input terminal is "00" or "11", the logic state of the output terminal is "0"; when the logic state of the input terminal is "01" or "10", the logic state of the output terminal is "1".

s502, adjusting the load voltage of the first input end to enable the first input end to be a first Fermi level, adjusting the load voltage of the second input end to enable the second input end to be a first Fermi level, respectively coupling the signal light into the rectangular resonant cavities, generating destructive interference in the resonant cavities, enabling the first input end and the second input end not to meet an optical resonance condition, coupling the signal light to an output end through the rectangular resonant cavities, and detecting light signals on the lower surface of the device body;

s503, adjusting the load voltage of the first input end to enable the first input end to be a second Fermi level, adjusting the load voltage of the second input end to enable the second input end to be the second Fermi level, coupling the signal light into the rectangular resonant cavity from the input end, generating destructive interference in the resonant cavity, and detecting an optical signal on the lower surface of the device body;

s504, adjusting the load voltage of the first input end to enable the first input end to be at a first Fermi level, adjusting the load voltage of the second input end to enable the second input end to be at a second Fermi level, coupling the signal light into the rectangular resonant cavity, and performing destructive interference with the signal light coupled into the rectangular resonant cavity from the controlled end to detect an optical signal on the lower surface of the device body;

and S505, adjusting the load voltage of the first input end to enable the first input end to be at the second Fermi level, adjusting the load voltage of the second input end to enable the second input end to be at the first Fermi level, coupling the signal light into the rectangular resonant cavity, and performing destructive interference with the signal light coupled into the rectangular resonant cavity from the controlled end to detect an optical signal on the lower surface of the device body.

In the embodiment of the present invention, taking the first fermi level and the second fermi level as 0eV and 0.54eV, respectively, when the load voltage is adjusted so that the controlled terminal is in the mode two state, the following three cases are specifically included:

(1) the method comprises the steps that signal light enters the surface of a device from the right top of the device, if the Fermi levels of graphene nanowires at input ends are the same (namely the Fermi levels of the graphene nanowires at the two input ends are both 0.54eV) through adjusting load voltage of the input ends, the signal light is coupled into a rectangular resonant cavity from the input ends and destructive interference occurs in the resonant cavity, so that the quartz substrate medium absorbs the signal light more strongly, and meanwhile, the signal light coupled into the rectangular resonant cavity from a controlled end is not destructive interference and can be coupled to the output end through the resonant cavity, so that a stronger optical signal can be detected on the lower table of the device, and the device is particularly characterized in that the transmissivity of the signal light is higher; (2) the method comprises the following steps that signal light enters the surface of a device from the right above the device, if the Fermi levels of graphene nanowires at the input ends are the same (namely the Fermi levels of the graphene nanowires at the two input ends are both 0eV) by adjusting the load voltage of the input ends, although the graphene nanowires at the input ends do not meet optical resonance conditions, the controlled ends are in a mode two state at the moment and can meet the resonance conditions, the signal light can pass through a rectangular resonant cavity and be coupled to the output ends, and at the moment, a stronger optical signal can be detected on the lower surface of the device, which is specifically indicated that the transmissivity of the signal light is higher; (3) the signal light is incident to the surface of the device from the right above the device, and if the fermi levels of the graphene nanowires at the input ends are different (that is, the fermi levels of the graphene nanowires at the two input ends are 0eV, 0.54eV or 0.54eV and 0eV) by adjusting the load voltage of the input ends, the signal light is coupled into the rectangular resonant cavity from the graphene nanowire at the input end with the fermi level of 0.54eV and is subjected to destructive interference with the signal light coupled into the rectangular resonant cavity from the controlled end, so that the quartz substrate medium absorbs the signal light strongly, only a small part of energy is coupled into the output end through the resonant cavity, and a weak optical signal can be detected on the lower surface of the device at the moment, specifically, the transmittance of the signal light is low.

And adjusting the load voltage at the controlled end to be in an 'operating' state (the corresponding logic binary number is '1'), and realizing the logic operation of the exclusive-OR gate with the logic contrast of 13 dB.

The signal light is a terahertz light wave with the wavelength of 40 mu m.

The load voltage of the input end graphene nanowire is regulated, so that when the Fermi levels of the two input end graphene nanowires are both 0.54eV, signal light is coupled into the rectangular resonant cavity from the input end graphene nanowire and destructive interference occurs in the resonant cavity, the electromagnetic effect causes that the medium absorbs the signal light greatly, but the signal light coupled to the rectangular resonant cavity from the controlled end is not subjected to destructive interference and can still be coupled to the output end through the rectangular resonant cavity, and a high signal light transmittance can still be detected on the lower surface of the device; the load voltage of the graphene nanoribbon at the input end is regulated and controlled, so that when the Fermi levels of the two graphene nanowires at the input end are both 0eV, the controlled end is in a working state, the resonance condition of light is met at the moment, the signal light energy can be coupled to the graphene nanoribbon at the output end through the rectangular resonant cavity, and the lower surface of the device can detect that the signal light has a larger transmittance value; the method comprises the steps of regulating and controlling the load voltage of graphene nanowires at two ends of an input end, enabling the Fermi level of one graphene nanowire at the input end to be 0.54ev, enabling signal light to be coupled into a rectangular resonant cavity from one port and a controlled end of the input end respectively when the Fermi level of the other graphene nanowire is 0ev, enabling destructive interference to occur in the resonant cavity, enabling the absorption of a medium on target signal light to reach a maximum value, and enabling the transmissivity of the target signal light to reach a low value at the moment.

The Fermi level of the graphene nanowire at the input end can be changed by regulating and controlling the load voltage of the graphene nanowire. When the fermi level of the input end graphene nanowire is 0.54eV, the corresponding input binary high state is a logic state "1"; when the fermi level of the input end graphene nanowire is 0eV, the corresponding input binary low state is a logic state "0".

Determining the input binary state of the input end in sequence, and when the input binary state of the input end is logic state "01" or "10", destructive interference occurs in the resonant cavity due to the fact that the signal light is coupled into the rectangular resonant cavity from the input end with logic state "1" and the controlled end respectively, so that the medium has larger absorption to the signal light, and a lower signal light transmittance value can be detected on the lower surface of the device, wherein the transmittance of the signal light is 0.053 or 0.056; when the input binary state of the input end is a logic state '11', signal light is coupled into the rectangular resonant cavity from the graphene nanoribbon at the input end and destructive interference occurs in the resonant cavity, the electromagnetic effect causes that the absorption of the signal light by the medium reaches a maximum value, but at the moment, the signal light coupled to the rectangular resonant cavity from the controlled end does not undergo destructive interference and can still be coupled to the output end through the rectangular resonant cavity, the lower surface of the device can still detect high signal light transmittance, and the transmittance of target signal light is 0.958; when the binary input state of the input end is logic state '00', the controlled end is in 'working' state, the optical resonance condition is satisfied, the signal light energy can be coupled to the output end through the rectangular resonant cavity, the signal light with a larger transmittance value can be detected on the lower surface of the device, and the transmittance of the signal light is 0.969.

Here, the transmittance of the target signal light is a critical point at a value of 0.1. That is, when the transmittance of the target signal light is detected to be lower than 0.1, the output binary low state of the output terminal is logic state "0"; on the contrary, if the binary state is higher than 0.1, the binary state of the output at the output end is logic state "1". It can be known that when the logic state of the input terminal is "00" or "11", the logic state of the output terminal is "1"; when the logic state of the input terminal is "01" or "10", the logic state of the output terminal is "0".
