a Role of reversible transition between ‘0’ and ‘1’ via modulating the position and strength of control beam. b Scheme of corresponding typical phase dependence for reversible transition. Mechanism of phase modulation and corresponding scheme of phase dependence for representative (c) AND and (d) IMP logic gates. e Phase diagram of the control-beam strength and signal-beam nonlinear phase-shift for switching among the nine AOLGs.
