An all-optical half-adder has been successfully demonstrated using cross gain modulation (XGM) and four-wave mixing (FWM) in an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) on a highly-nonlinear dispersion-shifted fiber. Power penalty of less than 2dB was achieved.
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.
