All-Optical XOR Gate and Half Adder Implementation Using SPM and SOA
摘要
Essential components for all-optical communication and computation are optical gates. They enable data processing in the optical domain by using non-linear optical phenomena to apply logical operations to light signals. Advanced photonic applications find optical gates beneficial due to their fast speed, parallelism and high bandwidth. The design concepts, modelling methods and practical results of an all-optical XOR logic gate that utilises self-phase modulation (SPM), a non-linear optical fiber feature, are presented in detail in this study. Additionally, an all-optical Half Adder is realised at 10 Gb/s, using proposed XOR gate and currently available AND gate simulation. The simulation results precisely align with standard benchmarks, on the basis of time domain analysis.
