Abstract

By using a semiconductor optical amplifier and a cross-phase modulation wavelength converter, fundamental all-optical logic gates including NOT, AND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR have been newly proposed and implemented. Realization of these all-optical logic gates will bring up not only all-optical networks but also all-optical computing and signal processing.
