A 4-bit twisted ring counter is demonstrated utilizing the electro-optic effect of lithium niobate based Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI). The MZI structures working on the principle of electro-optic effect show the powerful ability to switch the optical signal from one output port to the other. The theoretical description along with appropriate mathematical formulation is provided and the proposed device is analysed using beam propagation method. The proposed scheme will be helpful in optical signal processing and packet switching networks.
