All-optical Digital Logic Gates using Bistable Semiconductor Ring Lasers
This paper demonstrates all-optical digital logic gates using bistable monolithic semiconductor ring lasers (SRLs). With the flexible multi-functional experimental setup, we have experimentally demonstrated the application of SRLs to realize logic functions including: AND, OR, NOR, XOR and all-optical non-return-to-zero (NRZ) to return-to-zero (RZ) format conversion. Using bistable semiconducto...
متن کاملring resonator coupled m-z all-optical switch by using a pumped nonlinear directional coupler
we propose a new ring resonator side-coupled m-z interferometer all-optical switch throughthe pumped nonlinear directional coupler. by controlling pump power p to lead the coupler reflectivityr approaching to 1, the resonator finesse will be enhanced dramatically, and then the minimumswitching power in silica-based practice devices can be obtained. as a sample, we use a nonlinearcoupler made by...
متن کاملMode - locked fiber ring lasers with semiconductor optical
This thesis is on the development of high-speed pulsed lasers at wavelengths around 1.55 m for applications in the fiber optic communications field. The realization of future optical transmission systems and signal processing circuits will require such optical pulse sources, capable of producing picosecond pulses with a low timing jitter at repetition rates of tens or even hundreds of Gigahertz...
متن کاملSolitary and coupled semiconductor ring lasers as optical spiking neurons.
We theoretically investigate the possibility of generating pulses in an excitable (asymmetric) semiconductor ring laser (SRL) using optical trigger pulses. We show that the phase difference between the injected field and the electric field inside the SRL determines the direction of the perturbation in phase space. Due to the folded shape of the excitability threshold, this has an important infl...
متن کاملSub-picosecond all-optical switch using a multi-quantum-well semiconductor optical amplifier
We investigate an all-optical switch that is operated by the nonlinear phase-shift introduced by optical pulses with duration of 200 fs in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOAs). The gate is made out of a commercially available InGaAsP–InGaAs multi-quantum-well (MQW) SOA placed in a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. We have measured the nonlinear phase-shift as a function of the injection current ...
