AbstractTera hertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer (TOAD) using two semiconductor optical amplifiers and two control signals has been used to design an all optical parity checker and generator. The same circuit can generate and check both even and odd parity using a control input. The numerical simulation using Matlab 2007b is done for performance analysis of the proposed device in terms of output bit pattern, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise, extinction ratio, contrast ratio, pseudo eye diagram, relative eye opening (98.9% for 20 dB gain and 96.21% for 10 dB gain) and their variation with input control pulse energy, amplified spontaneous emission noise factor for different unsaturated gain. The simulated value of E.R. = 81.39 dB, C.R. = 83.15 dB, REOP = 98.9% and Q value = 86.16 dB are found for this proposal.
