Zusammenfassung

We report on an all-optical AND-gate using simultaneous Four-Wave Mixing (FWM) and Cross-Gain Modulation (XGM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The operation of the proposed AND gate is simulated and the results demonstrate its effectiveness. This AND gate could provide a new possibility for all-optical computing and all-optical routing in future all-optical networks. In an AND ( AB ) gate, Boolean is firstly obtained by using signal B as a pump beam and clock signal as a probe beam in SOA-1. By passing signal A as a probe beam and as a pump beam through SOA-2, Boolean AB is acquired. Proposed optical logic unit is based on coupled nonlinear equations describing XGM and FWM effects. These equations are first solved to generate the pump, probe and conjugate pulses in a SOA. The pulse behavior are analyzed and applied to realize behavior of all-optical AND gate and its function is verified with the help of waveform and analytical assumption.
