Nonlinear co-generation of graphene plasmons for optoelectronic logic gates

Abstract Surface plasmons in graphene provide a compelling strategy for advanced photonic technologies thanks to their tight confinement, fast response and tunability. Recent advances in the field of all-optical generation of graphene’s plasmons in planar waveguides offer a promising method for high-speed signal processing in nanoscale integrated optoelectronic devices. Here, we use two counter propagating frequency combs with temporally synchronized pulses to demonstrate deterministic all-optical generation and electrical control of multiple plasmon polaritons, excited via difference frequency generation (DFG). Electrical tuning of a hybrid graphene-fiber device offers a precise control over the DFG phase-matching, leading to tunable responses of the graphene’s plasmons at different frequencies and provides a powerful tool for high-speed logic operations. Our results offer new insights for plasmonics on hybrid photonic devices based on layered materials and pave the way to high-speed integrated optoelectronic computing circuits.

Nonlinear optics has been of increased interest for all-optical signal, data and image processing in high speed photonic networks. The application of multi-valued (nonbinary) digital signals can provide considerable relief in transmission, storage and processing of a large amount of information in digital signal processing. Here, we propose the design of an all-optical system for some basic tri-state logic operations (trinary OR, trinary AND, trinary XOR, Inverter, Truth detector, False detector) which exploits the polarization properties of light. Nonlinear material based optical switch can play an important role. Tri-state logic can play a significant role towards carry and borrow free arithmetic operations. The principles and possibilities of the design of nonlinear material based tri-state logic circuits are proposed and described.

A scheme to realize all-optical Boolean logic functions, XOR, AND and NAND operations using binary phase shift keyed (BPSK) signal based on quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifiers (QD-SOA) has been designed and studied. Nonlinear dynamics including carrier heating and spectral hole-burning are taken into account together with the rate equations. We demonstrate XOR, AND and NAND operations at 250Gb/s using a pair of QD-SOA Mach-Zehnder interferometers. Results show that this scheme is suitable for high speed all-optical Boolean logic operations and can improve the output quality comparing with the system using on-off-keyed (OOK) signal.

In this paper, we report our recent studies on developing nonlinear techniques based on a single SOA for all-optical signal processing at high-speed, with a focus on simple configurations employing commercial SOAs for several key all-optical network applications. Our researches are based on nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR), four-wave mixing (FWM) and cross-phase modulation (XPM) effects in a single SOA. We propose and demonstrate applications of the nonlinear techniques in all-optical logic gates, multi-function format coversion, tunable Lyot birefringent filter and multi-channel optical time division multiplexed (OTDM) demultiplexing.

Abstract In this digital era, all-optical logic gates (OLGs) proved its effectiveness in execution of high-speed computations. A unique construction of an all-optical OR, NOR, NAND gates based on the notion of power combiner employing metal–insulator–metal (MIM) waveguide in the Y-shape in a minimal imprint of 6.2 µm × 3 µm is presented and the structure is evaluated by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique. The insertion loss (IL) and extinction-ratio (ER) for proposed model are 6 dB and 27.76 dB for NAND gate, 2 dB and 20.35 dB for NOR gate and 6 dB and 24.10 dB respectively. The simplified model is used in the construction of complex circuits to achieve greater efficiency, which contributes to the emergence of a new technique for designing plasmonic integrated circuits.

The scheme to realize high speed (~250Gb/s) all-optical Boolean logic gates using semiconductor optica amplifiers with quantum-dot (QD-SOA) is introduced and analyzed in this review. Numerical simulation method was presented by solving the rate equation and taking into account nonlinear dynamics including carrier heating and spectral hole-burning. Binary phase shift keyed (BPSK) signal and on-off keyed signal are used to generate high speed all-optical logic gates. The applications based on all-optical logic gates such as, all-optical latches, pseudo random bit sequence (PRBS) generation and all-optical encryption, are also discussed in this review. Results show that the scheme based on QD-SOA is a promising method for the realization of high speed all-optical communication system in the future.
