Abstract
In this paper, we study the use of integrated semiconductor optical
amplifiers as the basic building block for larger-scale programmable photonic
circuits. Making use of the non-linear response of these devices, we study
the performance of 4-bit all-optical NOR gates based on fully integrable components
for high speed all-optical look up tables. Feasibility of the proposed architecture
is demonstrated by proof-of-concept experiments using both commercially available
devices and photonic integrated circuits.
