Optically controlled optical gate with an optoelectronic dual diode structure – theory and experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
A low-power, surface-normal optically controlled optical gate that incorporates two stacked AlGaAs diodes has been tested using both picosecond and femtosecond pulses. The device opens and closes within 20 picoseconds with a 30% reflectivity change. Repeated gating with 20 picosecond periods has been demonstrated— a repetition period significantly faster than the external RC time constant. A theory of the dynamics of optically induced voltage across multiple-layered structures is presented and has been incorporated into simulations, matching experimental results well. This theory also provides insight into both the form and possible improvement of the device recovery using multiple layers.

A novel design for all-optical NAND/NOR/XOR gates based on nonlinear directional coupler
In this paper a novel all-optical logic NAND, NOR and XOR gate based on nonlinear directional coupler theory is demonstrated. We use the identical structure which contains three waveguides, for designing these gates; the only difference however, is the power of inputs light beam. In other words, while a beam with 4 W/μm in power considered as logical one, the output is NAND gate and if a beam w...

We use nonlinear dynamics approach for studying delayed feedback optoelectronic oscillators (OEOs) formed by hybrid integration of resonant tunneling diode (RTD) photodetectors with laser diodes, in both single and dual optical fiber feedback routes. In the single loop topology the performance of the RTD-OEO free-running self-sustained oscillator is improved in terms of phase noise, with a comp...
