By using gain saturation of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA), an all-optical AND gate has been successfully demonstrated. Firstly, inversion of signal B is obtained using the first SOA with signal B and clock injection. Then, the all-optical AND gate is achieved using the second SOA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
