Abstract
The development of digital optoelectronic circuits has been hampered by the lack of an optical inverter from which NOR and NAND logic gates may be implemented. This paper reports that an optical inverter may be realized in Er:YAG crystal by using the red shift of the wavelength of laser diode.
