An all optical frequency encoded demultiplexer with tri-state logic

Optics has already been established its significant application over electronics using the nonlinearity of optical medium. The use of semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as a nonlinear medium has remarkably extended in the field of optoelectronic technology due to his high switching speed and high extinction ratio. The SOA based devices are used in multifunctional way mainly in switching, multiplexing, de-multiplexing and wavelength conversion. Here in this paper the authors propose a new demultiplexer scheme with the broad area semiconductor optical amplifier (BSOA) using the frequency encoding techniques and tri state logic. Frequency encoding techniques and tri-state logic in optics are already been established as a potential mechanism.
