All optical tri-state frequency encoded logic gates NOT and NAND are proposed and numerically investigated using TOAD based interferometric switch for the first time to the best of our knowledge. The optical power spectrum, extinction ratio, contrast ration, and amplified spontaneous noise are calculated to analyze and confirm practical feasibility of the gates. The proposed device works for low switching energy and has high contrast and extinction ratio as indicated in this work.

Abstract Semiconductor optical amplifier-based polarization rotation is utilized in designing all-optical AND gate at 100 Gbps. The AND gate shows high extinction ratio (ER ∼ 15 dB), contrast ratio (CR ∼ 18 dB) and quality factor (Q-factor ∼ 16 dB). The effect of the amplified spontaneous emission noise on the performances is also investigated. The AND gate has relative eye opening (REO) varying from 93.52 to 97.1% for 10–30 dB unsaturated gain. Using the AND gate a majority voting gate is designed and analyzed and has Q ∼ 11.7 dB with REO ∼ 91%.

We propose a scheme to realize all-optical logic operation in quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier (QD-SOA) based Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) considering the effects of two-photon absorption (TPA). During propagation of sub-picosecond pulses in QD-SOA, TPA leads to an additional change in carrier recovery dynamics in quantum-dots. We utilize a rate equation model to take into account carrier refill through TPA and nonlinear dynamics including carrier heating and spectral hole burning in the QD-SOA. The simulation results show the TPA induced pumping in the QD-SOA can reduce the pattern effect and increase the output quality of the all-optical logic operation. With TPA, this scheme is suitable for high speed Boolean logic operation at 320 Gb/s.

The paper reviews the current status and designs of all-optical gates. Various schemes with and without semiconductor optical amplifiers are discussed and compared. The optical gates are classified according to their design structures. It is divided into two major divisions that is, nonsemiconductor optical amplifier based gates and semiconductor optical amplifier based gates. In nonsemiconductor optical amplifier based gates, different schemes have been proposed to create non-linearity which is discussed. The semiconductor optical amplifier based gates of different design structures are discussed to show the probe pulse that is modulated in different ways to obtain results.

AbstractAll optical logic gates are the key elements of contemporary optical computing unit. For that non-linear attribute of reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) is exploited to configure optical logic gates. Accordingly, in the manuscript all optical OR/NOR/Buffer binary logic network for the nonreturn to zero format has been designed. Its operation at 100 Gbps data rate has been successfully realized. For the applied data inputs in nonreturn to zero patterns, their corresponding output waveforms for the stated logic action have been verified. Numerical investigations for the imperative design constraints as data rate, injected power and imperative elements of the semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) pump current, carrier density, active length, confine factor, laser power has been appropriately executed with optimum performance. It has depicted good extinction ratio (>10 dB) performance with confine factor more than 0.2 and higher carrier density of amplifier. Further, it also accomplished, that for the OR, buffer logic execution with lower power of pump laser and for the NOR logic execution higher power laser pump source is required. The proposed design could fulfill need for the impending higher data rate composite optical computing units.
