This paper demonstrates the structure and working principle of an optical 2-bit multiplier using lithium niobate (LiNbO3) based Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI). The powerful ability of MZI structures to switch the optical signal from one output port to the other output port has been used in the im...
