Abstract

All optical Boolean logic functionality has been demonstrated experimentally using integrated semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) based interferometry at 40 Gb/s. The demonstrated functions are XOR, AND, and OR. The performance of the operations has been analyzed by solving the rate equation of the SOA numerically. The high-speed operation is limited by the carrier lifetime in the SOA. In order to solve the limitations imposed by carrier lifetime, a differential scheme for the XOR operation has been experimentally investigated.
