Optics is considered a potential candidate for the realization of logic devices, digital optical systems for communication, and computation exploiting its super-fast speed. Optical logic gates also can act on the basis of frequency conversion process of some nonlinear materials. Further, in this chapter, the authors have mentioned the dibit representation technique for reducing bit error problem at the input and output terminals of all optical digital logic circuits and a control input for selecting particular logic operation. Here the authors have proposed frequency encoded all optical dibit-based integrated AND and OR logic gates with control input, where a single circuit acts as both AND logic gate and OR logic gate using the optical switches like reflected semiconductor optical amplifier and add/drop multiplexer.

Vortex beam encoded all-optical logic gates are suggested to be very important in future information processing. However, within current logic devices, only a few are encoded by using vortex beams and, in these devices, some space optical elements with big footprints (mirror, dove prism and pentaprism) are indispensable components, which is not conducive to device integration. In this paper, an integrated vortex beam encoded all-optical logic gate based on a nano-ring plasmonic antenna is proposed. In our scheme, by defining the two circular polarization states of the input vortex beams as the input logic states and the normalized intensity of the plasmonic field at the center of the nano-ring as the output logic states, OR and AND (NOR and NAND) logic gates are realized when two 1st (1st) order vortex beams are chosen as the two input signals; and a NOT logic gate is obtained when one 1st order vortex beam is chosen as the input signal. In addition, by defining the two linear polarization states (x and y polarization) of the input vortex beams as the two input logic states, an XNOR logic gate is realized when two 1st order vortex beams are chosen as the two input signals.

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.

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.

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.

The semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) are all-optical multifunctional devices. The improvement of their performance will, therefore, be of great importance for modern optical telecommunication systems. We propose in this article to develop a dynamic model that enables us to simulate the dynamic behavior of SOA's birefringence effects. The determination of a numerical model is a multidisciplinary activity that needs engineering skills, optimization and physics. This numerical model enables to describe the propagation of a picosecond optical pulse passing through the SOA and takes into account its polarization and the phenomenon of energy coupling between the eigenmodes of SOA (TE mode and TM mode). In this paper, we will, first of all describe the numerical algorithm of our model, and then we will propose to make a dynamic characterization of the effect of the nonlinear polarization rotation in the SOA, which will allow us to study the all-optical logic gates as well as all the other digital components based on the nonlinear effect of birefringence in SOA.
